So that's you.
You're welcome.
And then everybody was like, whoa, that's a little overboard.
And Russia was like, yo, that's a little overboard.
And then he comes out and he's like, no, no, no, I meant to say sanctions, impose sanctions.
No, because we've already been told that if Russia uses nuclear weapons, it will be full-scale conventional warfare from NATO.
So that's not what would happen.
Sanctions?
No.
No, Zelensky, I think, was actually saying it's time for NATO to strike Russia.
Because he wants war.
He wants World War 3.
I guess he's saying, if I'm going down, I'm taking you with me.
There have already been a bunch of Russian officials.
I shouldn't say bunch.
A couple.
That have called on Russia to start using low-yield nuclear weapons.
So, that'll be fun.

luke rudkowski
Good to see my fellow people of color getting some time, finally, on Scooby-Doo.
The power's with us.
Anyway, the shirt I'm wearing today, actually, I made almost a year ago, specifically with, you know, Saying that at least we get a pizza party before World War III.
It's very topical right now.
You could get it on TheBestPoliticalShirts.com, and of course it shows Joe Biden chomping away on some pizza.
So yeah, because you get the shirt, I'm here.
Thank you so much for having me.
ian crossland
What's up, everybody?
Ian Crossland over here.
And yes, Cask Castle did go live yesterday.
The best episode yet, Civil War, the culmination of a four-part series.
I hope you have had a chance to see it.
I think some people with feedback said that it was It was lagging or there was buffering issues, so we're working on that.
Might be a browser thing.
Try a different browser.
Try clearing your cache.

Thank you guys for having me.
Of course, I'm pushing buttons in the corner.
Tim got the ability to edit tweets.
He's been having a blast with that.
Go check out his Twitter for sure.
Let's get into it.
tim pool
I just did one last edit.
Joe Biden is a bad president.
And it just gave me a warning.
It was like, this is your last edit.
Stop.
ian crossland
Five edits total.
tim pool
I guess.
Is that five?
No, I think it's, yeah, it's five edits.
So it started with Joe Biden is a bad president.
Then Joe Biden is a good president.
Joe Biden is a child sniffer.
Joe Biden is responsible for high gas prices.
Retweet this if you think the noble rooster is the greatest of God's creations.
After people, of course.
And then finally back to Joe Biden is a bad president.
ian crossland
And then when you tried to edit it again it said, please stop, or did it stop you?
lydia smith
Please stop, gosh.
tim pool
You can't do it anymore.
You can no longer edit.
ian crossland
Five edits in 30 minutes, that's the rule.
tim pool
All right, ladies and gentlemen, here's the news.
I hope you're sitting down for this one.
Zelensky calls for preemptive strikes from NATO to keep Russia from using nukes.
unidentified
Uh-huh.
tim pool
Okay.
Whatever, man.
Zelensky says it's time for World War III.
Everyone should burn in a rain of nuclear hellfire.
He didn't really say that, but he may as well have said that.
Volodymyr Zelensky called on NATO to conduct preemptive strikes against Russian targets to prevent their use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine, which literally would do the opposite.
Okay, that's it.
I kind of feel like he's actually just saying, you know, it's the waiting I can't stand.
Just burn it all to the ground.
Because no one, no sane, rational person thinks a preemptive strike against Russia would result in anything other than them launching nuclear weapons.
ian crossland
So.
Zelensky was throwing like people and like I think he shut down TV stations three the three largest TV stations in Ukraine.
I think he had him shut down.
luke rudkowski
Well, they were speaking out against and political parties as well that were against him.
ian crossland
He's not a good guy.
He's maybe was an actor.
So he's got some charisma, but I don't think he's like a benevolent president.
luke rudkowski
Well during the time of war all the rules are out of the window.
So, you know, we have to understand we're not fighting for democracy here.
This is not a democracy.
He shut those TV stations down before any Russian I believe it was because of the war and the emergency powers that the government got.
But again, all rules, everything's off the table once there's a war, and that's how he's treating the situation.
His statements today, I mean, he's trying to, you know, walk them back as much as he can.
He's trying to say that he wanted to really call for preemptive sanctions, but there's a big distinction between preemptive strikes and preemptive sanctions, and he was specifically talking to an Australian think tank, the Lowley Institution, And these are big statements the Russians are coming out and saying these statements risk another World War and these are very dangerous statements and this is the trajectory that we are on unless there's some actual de-escalation detente and some real civil conversations that could actually pull us away from this lunacy.
joel berry
You mean like Elon Musk?
luke rudkowski
Yes!
At least he's trying.
His proposal wasn't perfect, but at least he tried.
At least he started the conversation, and now lunatic Lindsey Graham, the chicken hawk that he is, is saying that he's going to be taking away his tax credits, which he never got for his Tesla company.
He never even had.
joel berry
Someone's got to try.
Someone's got to try to deescalate.
I guess I also wonder why is he asking NATO to do a preemptive strike?
Haven't we sent Zelensky like 50 billion dollars worth of weapons?
Why isn't he doing it?
tim pool
There are three Democrats who have now publicly stated that the greatest national security objective for the United States is to defeat Russia in Ukraine.
They came out and said it.
Yo, we're at war with Russia.
They're just playing this game.
It's not for Russia's benefit.
Russia knows we're at war with them.
It's because it's illegal.
Because what they're doing violates the constitution.
They did not get congressional approval for this.
So they're going to dance around.
Like, you know, people ask, you've got U.S.
personnel, veterans, on the ground in Ukraine.
We now have confirmation from the intercept that U.S.
boots are actually doing special operations on the ground.
At what point are we just like, okay, dudes, we get it, you declared war on Russia.
But that's the game.
Vladimir Putin knows full well what NATO and the U.S.
are doing there.
They're lying, saying it's just veterans being supplied and trained by us and then delivering weapons and training to the Ukrainians.
The only reason they're saying that is because they're not legally allowed to do it, and they did.
So criminals!
Criminals in the government.
That's new, right?
luke rudkowski
Yeah, that never happened before.
Musk made another statement today when he was attacked by the Kiev Post.
He said, look, I love Ukraine, but not World War III.
And I think that's the sentiment for the majority of people right now looking at this situation rationally.
As we're not really, you know, this conversation, it's shared about online, but when we look at the mainline coverage, this is not really talked about as much, as significantly.
The corporate media right now is focusing on two Russians that swam to Alaska to avoid the mobilization.
That seems to be the biggest kind of story that you see on the main headline television networks.
But you don't really hear about the dangerous implications.
You don't really hear anti-war voices.
You don't really hear anything contrary other than, we need war.
Let's play chicken nuclear war because it's fun somehow.
And that's insane.
ian crossland
For the record, Zelensky shut down three TV stations in February of 2021, a year before Putin invaded.
And they were like, Pro-Russia, according to him.
So they've really been at like a pseudo-war since 2014.
I mean, since Putin annexed Crimea, that was pretty overt.
tim pool
You guys know that the U.S.
had an office of censorship during World War II.
Silence accelerates victory was their slogan.
The motto, I guess.
joel berry
Well, we put Japanese in internment camps, too.
We did a lot of stuff.
luke rudkowski
you know, as a part of the world. Well, information is key and, you know, many times there was
accusations against Germans, there was accusations against Japanese citizens that were providing
allegedly information to the enemy, and the United States took it as far as to literally set up
camps for Japanese people to be interned in, which was a step too far.
And I think, you know, during these situations, during emergency situations, we should always be careful not to take a step too far.
And we have done it time and time again.
ian crossland
I'm watching this video or I have been of like volunteers on the ground in Ukraine.
American guy goes over with a helmet cam and he's recording it as he's running around fighting like they're in combat and they don't know who they're fighting.
They don't know where the enemy is.
They're just being told by a squad leader who's like a French guy or like some Ukrainian dude.
They got a French.
So they just go place, they wait, and then they're like, if someone tells them, speaking of information being important, if someone says, that's the enemy, fire, they'll just start shooting.
They don't know.
tim pool
Yep.
Yeah.
How many Ukrainian citizens do you think joined with the Russians?
Something that they don't talk about in Western media, but of course they did, especially in the East.
They probably said, you know, we're with, you know, Russia on this one.
Otherwise, I mean, they wouldn't have, it's just, I'll put it, I'll leave it at that.
My question, and the reason I bring that up is, do you believe the Western media that Ukraine is winning?
luke rudkowski
This is, I think, a topic worth discussing because we might see opposing viewpoints on this as we were kind of talking about this subject before the show.
There's a lot of circumstantial evidence, there's the understanding that there's a lot of propaganda, a lot of disinformation, but we also have to understand that the Ukrainians were practicing and drilling for this ever since 2014 on their territory.
They have the latest technology they have night vision they have thermal they have satellite technology they have GPS coordinated weapons systems they have training from CIA covert ops special forces soldiers that were there since 2014 setting up the groundwork for this invasion as the US corporate media was literally cheering on and setting the groundwork to make everyone hate Russia so this has been in the works for a very long time and I do believe.
From just my initial perspectives, from what I've seen, and I know people are going to attack me.
I got attacked last week because I said the Ukrainians are going to take the city of Limon.
The Ukrainians did take the city of Limon.
But from my perspective, looking at the Telegram channel, seeing footage from the Russians and the Ukrainians, it does seem, especially right now, that the Ukrainians are getting back a lot of the territory and are having some significant victories against what looks like a disorganized force with the Russians.
That's just my perspective and my opinion, and I could be wrong, and I know I'm going to get criticized for it.
tim pool
I don't believe the propaganda, but it's also not the Ukrainians.
It's NATO.
NATO is winning back these cities.
luke rudkowski
Yeah.
ian crossland
And also Russia's not fully engaged, as far as I can tell from what I've heard.
I mean, they have not committed their entire military.
He just raised another 300,000 people drafted.
I think they drafted.
unidentified
Was that their first mobilization?
luke rudkowski
Well, in the mobilization, there's also a secret paragraph that hasn't been released to the general public.
But also, Russia is facing stiff declines in their population, just like the majority of the Western world.
Taiwan, the Ministry of Defense actually came out today and also said that they have a huge problem because of the low birth rates.
They're not going to have anyone to join the military soon.
So, Russia is also facing a very similar problem.
How many people are fleeing?
That's contested.
There's a lot of disinformation.
There's a lot of propaganda.
And a lot of it is just centered around Russia bad.
They're losing it 100%.
That's not the 100% truth out of the situation.
But again, we're in a war.
The reporting has been just propaganda.
And that's exactly what it is from now on.
joel berry
Well, do you think that it's possible that the fact that Putin is talking about nuclear weapons is a sign that maybe he is losing?
Yeah.
I think that's a better indication to me than anything coming out of the media.
I don't know if he'd be talking like that if he weren't losing ground.
tim pool
Though to the degree that he's engaged.
I mean, the question is, has Russia utilized all of their forces to the maximum capability?
Obviously no, because they have nukes.
And then the question is, okay, well, aside from nukes then, are they using their ground forces?
Well, no, they just mobilized another 300,000.
They could certainly conscript more people, so they've not even maximized in terms of ground troops.
And then it's, If they really wanted to declare full-scale war, I mean, they don't even have to use ICBMs.
There's a bunch of weapons they could and haven't used.
There was video going out of them dropping incendiary bombs on a city.
Why have they not done that in larger numbers on other cities?
Because it looks like Russia is actually restrained right now.
luke rudkowski
It looks like there's a lot of supply shortages.
It looks like a lot of their main routes have been met with a lot of resistance.
And there's also a lot of video footage showing, you know, Russians fighting with, you know, regular red book bags, fighting with no armor at all.
Fighting with old equipment so again how much of how much of that is propaganda how much of it is real but I've seen similar reports and similar similar videos from.
The Russian side showing them fighting having victories but but still a lot of them are under equipped a lot of them don't have any body.
ian crossland
I think there was an expectation that they would move in from the east and that the people in Ukraine would open their arms and be like, kind of like what happened in Crimea, be like, well, thank you.
Now we're liberated.
We're back as part of Russia.
They used to be part of Russia before the Soviet Union was split up.
All of Ukraine.
Underestimated the amount of psychological propaganda that had been proliferated in Ukraine and pro-West, pro-liberal economic order, and there was just massive psychological resistance.
A lot of people thought Zelensky was going to flee as soon as the invasion was announced, but he was like, no, I'm staying.
Probably because psychologically he was prepared because of all this NATO influence.
luke rudkowski
But also, Russia hasn't fully declared it as a war.
They're describing it as a limited military operation.
So we have to understand, attacks on the infrastructure weren't made by the Russians.
The Russians could take out the electricity, the power, the water, and a lot of other Especially with their control of the nuclear facility inside of Ukraine.
They haven't done that yet.
So I think they're still holding back some cards that will make a greater impact on this conflict.
Not just nuclear warheads but a declaration of a full all-out war.
tim pool
Let me jump to these stories here.
The first from Daily Mail.
Quote, use low-yield nuclear weapons.
Russia-appointed official in Kursan calls for tough action from Moscow and urges the country defense minister Sergei Shoigu to shoot himself amid frustration at Ukrainian fightback.
We also have this story from Reuters.
Kadyrov says Russia should use low-yield nuclear weapon.
So they're outright saying, use the nukes.
This is interesting because I feel like nuclear war, man, if there's anything that would make a great reset happen, it would be nuclear bombs dropping.
But the question is, is this, you know, what's happening in Ukraine going to affect the entire planet, or is it going to stay regional?
Is it going to become something that forces the West to get involved, or does Ukraine just get, you know, win or lose?
I don't know.
joel berry
When nukes come into play, I don't see how the whole world doesn't get involved.
I mean, I guess one thing that does make me nervous is, where's China in all this?
When the nukes start flying, what does China do?
tim pool
Sit back and laugh?
joel berry
Well, yeah, they could, I guess, and just watch us commit suicide.
ian crossland
And it's a huge part of Eastern Russia.
joel berry
Yeah.
ian crossland
You know, watch out for that.
luke rudkowski
Well, Kissinger had some interesting comments about China and how they're looking at everything that's happening right now.
We also have to understand that Ukraine and China were very big trading partners, and there's a lot of economic interests that the Chinese have inside of Ukraine.
So this could be one reason why they kind of stepped back a little bit, but according to Henry Kissinger, the Chinese gave the Russians a blank check when it came to this conflict right now.
I'm not really seeing it, but I think it's in their interest for themselves to be like, you know what?
We're just going to take a step back as you two guys beat each other up, and we're going to rise as a potential superpower, or try to rise as a potential superpower.
joel berry
Well, that's the art of war, right?
Never interrupt your enemies when they're destroying each other.
luke rudkowski
Yes, and there's been a lot of historical tensions between Russia and China.
They have started to work closer together, especially with the United States becoming more aggressive against both of them.
They started to share a lot of military secrets.
They started to build a lot of military infrastructure together.
But historically, they've been at odds, even when it comes to specific territory that they were threatening each other with just a few decades ago.
tim pool
The Intercept report that I saw earlier, I think Michael Tracy was tweeting about it.
I mean, that was just a kick in the balls.
ian crossland
What was it?
tim pool
That the U.S.
is operating officially.
U.S.
Special Operations and Intelligence are operating in Ukraine.
So, like, that's it.
This is the game they play.
The U.S.
and NATO, they didn't come out outright and say, we're going to engage in war with Russia.
They dropped news periodically.
First, it was like, well, some people volunteered.
It just so happens they're Americans.
Then it's, well, we're giving weapons to, you know, Poland and it's being delivered to Ukraine, but it's not us.
And then the U.S.
intelligence helped Ukraine blow up the Russian Black Sea Fleet flagship and then said, oh, well, we didn't tell them to do that.
Now the U.S.
is saying, well, yeah, we do have special operations on the ground that are ours and our intelligence has been operating there.
I'm going to tell you this.
They're blaming Ukraine for the assassination of Dugin's daughter.
How long?
Give it a week, two weeks, a month before they're like, oh yeah, we actually ordered that.
Or at first they're going to say, we gave them the information on where Dugan would be, but we didn't know that would happen.
And then a month later it's going to be like, yeah, it was us.
luke rudkowski
So basically what the United States is doing is handing someone a gun and saying, we're going to point it exactly where you're going to kill this opponent.
And the only thing that they're not doing is pulling the trigger.
tim pool
That's not there anymore.
luke rudkowski
But some people, as you know, you would argue, they're doing even more than just pulling the trigger.
tim pool
Here's what it is.
All right.
unidentified
All right.
tim pool
So, Joel, you're fighting with your neighbor.
And so I'm like, all right, here's what we're going to do.
I'm going to give you this glass bottle.
All right.
Now, you got that.
But you know what?
Actually, Luke, It used to work for me.
Luke, you go do it.
That's basically what it is.
It starts with people are like, they used to be soldiers for the US Army, but now it's just their choice to go there.
joel berry
Right, right, right.
tim pool
And then they have weapons that get supplied by NATO.
And then eventually they're just like, yeah, they're paying us.
So we're involved.
joel berry
At what point does everyone figure out that just, you know, when do we eliminate the middleman and just go direct at each other?
tim pool
I mean, that's what I'm saying, you know, look, if Joe Biden wants my respect, he'll come out and be like, my fellow Americans, of course we're at war with Russia.
What, are you stupid?
You don't think U.S.
boots on the ground, funding, supplies, intelligence, and war?
You think that does not imply that we are fighting right?
What are you thinking?
joel berry
Yeah.
tim pool
But these, you know, I think what you get from Twitter and from the media is you can really see these like psychotic fascist journalists will say whatever to keep regular people trapped in the dark.
joel berry
Right.
tim pool
They'll call you fake news, they'll lie, they'll push conspiracy theories and then claim it's you doing that.
Projection is the only thing they have and the best part is they accuse everyone else of projecting when it's quite literally them projecting.
joel berry
Yeah.
tim pool
They're the fascists supporting the machine and supporting the war.
Now we're facing the prospect of getting hit by a nuke.
So I guess, you know, for you guys, have you guys bought your potassium iodide yet?
luke rudkowski
I had mine many years ago as I was warning about this on my YouTube channel saying, hey, we're headed towards a conflict with Russia.
Like 10 years ago, I was making videos about this.
I was like, geopolitically, everything's aligning, everything's shaping up.
As of course, this is not the first proxy war that happened between the East and the West.
We look at Syria, we look at Libya, we look at Afghanistan in the 1980s.
The United States and the Russians have always been at odds with each other, always financing the enemy of the enemy, and this is nothing new, but now I think we have really escalated it to a dangerous situation that implicates everyone in it, including everyone that's not even fighting.
Innocent human beings are being affected by this in more ways than one, not just financially.
tim pool
But what about other countries?
Like Turkey, who's a military superpower.
ian crossland
They're a nuclear superpower.
They're a Russian neighbor.
They're a NATO member.
Yeah, and they're in NATO, which is very strange.
But Russia has no Mediterranean access, with or without the annexation they're trying to approve, without Turkey.
So they have to be allies for this war to resolve in Russia's favor.
But they're in NATO.
What the hell's going on?
They have nuclear weapons.
What the hell is going on?
tim pool
Oh, it's simple.
Klaus Schwab had a meeting with Putin and Biden and said, we need to great reset everything.
Let's pretend to have a war.
And they're like, okay, that'll give us an excuse to launch the nukes.
And then I'm kidding, by the way.
Hey, man, I can only say that Klaus Schwab is probably sitting back being like, this war is very good.
ian crossland
This war was inevitable.
We need order.
tim pool
Order.
joel berry
Well, and how much of this, too, is driven just by the military industry?
I mean, have we gotten to the point where just we always need some kind of a war?
We had Iraq.
We had Afghanistan.
We got out of Afghanistan.
Now it's Russia.
After Russia, is it going to be something else?
I mean, is it just a continual war machine where we're feeding this beast?
ian crossland
That's what Eisenhower told us it was going to be.
And after Vietnam in the early 70s, there was just a slew of military actions.
I'm very in the dark about it.
They're so obfuscated in the Balkans, in like, obviously Serbia, Kosovo, in the Clinton years.
I remember hearing about Serbia and Kosovo and Bosnia, like there was just bombs going off.
I never knew what was what, who was who.
I just knew that we were involved in all this death.
Yeah, I think without conflict and places to blow up bombs with some sort of reason, whether it's fake or real, then the military-industrial complex will cease to function.
joel berry
Yes, sometimes I wonder if all this money being sent to Ukraine is kind of like to help replace the lost revenue from leaving Afghanistan in the Middle East.
ian crossland
It's like a hundred billion dollars on the books that have been sent over there in the middle of an economic recession.
They've sent a hundred billion dollars to some country that we're not even allies with.
tim pool
And then what happens?
They buy weapons from who?
ian crossland
God knows!
The Chinese, the Russians, I don't know where they're getting the weapons.
joel berry
Probably us!
tim pool
And they're buying oil from us.
It's our own money being given right back to us.
luke rudkowski
There's a reason, there's a saying that war is a racket.
Because it is.
And the only winners of the war are the people who finance the wars.
The people who, of course, bankroll the sides and sell the arms and the weapons.
Everyone else loses.
There's no real winners in the war other than the people who profit off of it.
tim pool
Military-industrial complex grifting.
For them, it's like, we need to justify why we need more weapons.
Let's get mad at somebody and claim they're bad.
And then go fight them.
luke rudkowski
Well, first, the recent US policy is, hey, we're going to give these guys a bunch of weapons.
And then a couple years later, these are the bad guys.
We've got to fight these guys with all these weapons.
Saddam Hussein, he has chemical weapons.
That we gave them to fight the Iranians.
The Syrians, they have all these weapons.
They have all these Humvees and trucks with American businesses on the side of them.
We've got to go fight them.
They're going to attack and kill us.
The Libyans, you know, Gaddafi, he's a very bad guy.
We sold him a bunch of weapons, but he's a bad guy now.
We've got to take him out because he wants to do a gold dinar.
So it goes on and on and on.
I can never stop.
The Taliban, yeah, we've got to fight the Russians in Afghanistan.
We've got to give them all the weapons.
Oh no, the Taliban, they're bad now.
Yeah, we gotta go fight them.
ian crossland
I tweeted out a video of this guy who went to Afghanistan recently.
This video on YouTube is called Tourism and Taliban Controlled Afghanistan.
He went, he interviewed Taliban.
He's like, what do you think of Joe Biden?
And the big, the older Taliban member who's doing the speaking was like, we are, Joe Biden did a great job by leaving.
We hope he never comes back.
You can see he left us all this equipment that the Taliban is driving around on right now.
We're very grateful for Joe Biden.
joel berry
Oh yeah, they love him.
He's got a 98% approval rating over there.
ian crossland
They call it Independence Day, the day 9-11 when we pulled, when we surrendered.
unidentified
Really?
ian crossland
The Taliban calls it Independence Day.
joel berry
Wow.
tim pool
When we surrendered.
ian crossland
The day that we surrendered to the Taliban, yeah.
joel berry
Wow.
tim pool
Thanks Joe Biden.
luke rudkowski
Yeah, we just spent nine trillion dollars making sure that we get, you know, we replace the Taliban with the Taliban.
Money well spent.
tim pool
Ladies and gentlemen, we got him.
lydia smith
Oh boy.
tim pool
We got him!
Hunter Biden.
Daily Mail reports federal agents have enough evidence to charge Hunter Biden with tax crimes and making false statement while buying gun.
Bombshell report claims decision lies in the hands of U.S.
attorney in Delaware.
In Delaware?
Perfect!
They know all about the Bidens.
I'm sure we're going to see Hunter held to account.
And then, hey man, the dominoes begin falling.
Because once they get Hunter, he's going to squeal like a pig.
And he's going to be like, my dad did it all.
He's a pedo.
He's pedo Peter.
Here's the laptop.
Here's proof.
And then Joe Biden's going down.
Mark my words.
On November 12th, the arrests are... No, nothing's going to happen.
I have a hypothesis.
Quite literally nothing's going to happen.
Hunter Biden's going to laugh at it.
Joe Biden's going to do nothing.
And even if they did charge Hunter, Joe Biden would be like, here's a blanket pardon, son.
unidentified
Free to go.
ian crossland
Go buy a hooker.
luke rudkowski
I thought you were reading the latest Q drop there for a second.
I was like, did he drop something?
ian crossland
This, I think, is a way to scare Americans into paying their taxes and not buying guns.
I think they're going to make Hunter a poster boy for tax evasion and illegal gun handling.
They're going to give him a slap on the wrist, but enough that's like, People are super afraid, they don't want to cross the government because the government is looking out for tax and gun crimes.
joel berry
That is interesting because of all the things they could have got him on, to choose those things.
I mean, those are relatively minor crimes compared to everything that he's done with human trafficking, crack, all that, the deals with China.
Tax evasion?
Buying a gun?
ian crossland
That seems odd.
Of course, they want to scare people with it right now, and they're willing to throw Hunter under the bus, whoever they are.
But like you said, Biden could pardon the guy.
He probably won't.
He's probably gonna be like, well, he needs to, you know, we got to make an example out of Hunter, but you'll be okay, Hunter.
tim pool
No, he'll do it.
ian crossland
You think he'll just pardon him straight up?
tim pool
Yeah, because Joe is not going to be, I don't believe Joe would be, was going to run for president in 2024.
He's going to be like, I don't care.
I'm not going to jail.
ian crossland
If he pardons him, it will set an example that like paying your taxes isn't that important.
tim pool
You think he cares about that?
joel berry
No one.
ian crossland
Yeah, I think he's obsessed with making people pay taxes right now.
That's why he hired 80,000 IRS agents.
tim pool
Not his kid.
ian crossland
He's going to make an example.
This is my projection is he'll make an example out of Hunter in this case.
tim pool
These people are so dirty.
This guy is so dirty and corrupt.
ian crossland
Well, he's not going to nail him.
He's just going to punish him like he's a 17-year-old kid.
tim pool
Hunter Biden could destroy the Biden family with everything he knows.
Joe is going to give him everything he wants.
ian crossland
I think Hunter's in on it.
I think Joe will be like, we're going to make an example out of you to show people that
paying taxes is important.
Hunter's like, okay, dad.
tim pool
You think that crackhead is going to be like, sure thing, dad.
No, he's gonna be like, no, I'm not doing that.
And don't make me go and talk to them, because I'll tell them what you did with Ukraine and China.
ian crossland
But he'd go down with them if he did.
If Hunter turned on Joe, they'd both go down.
Hunter's too self-serving.
tim pool
I don't know if he's going to go to prison and Joe won't pardon him, then I'll say if I'm going down, I'm taking you with me.
ian crossland
I mean, maybe he'll get like 60 days time served in a cushy home arrest.
tim pool
Yeah, that that may be a bracelet, the gun charge.
I'd be surprised.
But yeah, if they give him house arrest, he probably like sure thing pop.
ian crossland
Yeah, doing crackiness.
Sorry, Hunter, man.
Get off the drugs, brother.
luke rudkowski
This is the same guy that had Secret Service intervene when his gun was found in a trash can in 2018.
Secret Service literally butted in and said, you know, this is a local police case.
We're going to make sure we're involved in this.
And they literally found a handgun.
That was registered to him in a trash can.
ian crossland
Which is like a felony felony.
luke rudkowski
And he got away with it!
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Well, hold on, hold on.
They're saying they might charge him, so.
luke rudkowski
Not for that specific charge.
ian crossland
What is it for exactly?
luke rudkowski
He might, he might not.
I mean, there's talks about this, uh, what is it?
Attorney General?
Or, uh, prosecutor?
There's talks about this prosecutor being, uh, right wing and there's a possibility of this happening.
I think I read that somewhere.
tim pool
Yeah, it's a Trump, it's a Trump prosecutor.
luke rudkowski
Yeah, that was appointed by him.
So people are saying there's a small possibility here.
But again, the system has a way of greasing the wheels here.
Joe Biden is an extremely dirty human being that will use every illicit means to, of course, protect his inner circle.
And I could see a lot of shadowy things happening behind the scenes, putting pressure on this prosecutor being like, this is my son, you don't do this.
And then the prosecutor saying, OK, sure.
joel berry
Do you think Hunter caves on his dad?
luke rudkowski
I think there's a theory out there that I think is plausible of Hunter deliberately releasing a lot of this stuff in order to get back at his dad for potential crimes that Hunter committed against the president.
tim pool
Hunter might actually be the hero.
You know, he's like sitting there and he's being like, I may be a crackhead, but for the American people, I'll make the sacrifice.
luke rudkowski
He's good friends with Tucker Carlson.
tim pool
What, Hunter?
luke rudkowski
Yes, look up Hunter Biden, Tucker Carlson.
You can see they have a good relationship with each other.
So, maybe.
Potentially.
Yeah.
tim pool
He's, like, giving all his information up for money?
That makes more sense to me.
luke rudkowski
Money, but also maybe retribution.
unidentified
Maybe there's something that... He calls his dad a pedo, apparently.
luke rudkowski
Yeah, that's listed as a contact.
Pedo, pedo.
ian crossland
I could see, like, in 15 or 20 years after Joe Biden's passed away, that Hunter is, like, He does a tell-all story where he's like, he was abusive.
He was manipulative.
He got me involved in Ukraine.
He put me in positions that I didn't want to be, you know, just demonizing.
Look how horrible it was.
Big sympathy for Hunter.
Hunter runs for office.
The Biden name, you know, bull, like crap like that.
I can see that.
unidentified
I don't know.
tim pool
The Biden name is synonymous with mud at this point because of like just everything wrong with the economy.
This is funny.
If you look at the polling for Democrats, the generic ballot, Their polling tracks alongside gas prices to a certain degree.
Now that gas prices are going up, Democrat polling is going down.
Because they're the ones who are in charge, and when gas prices go up... This is most people, it really is simple math.
Most people don't know, don't care, Russia, nuclear war, whatever, but I'll tell you this.
You probably go to your friends, your family, and you're like, hey, this nuclear war stuff is serious.
They could, you know, we can go to war, people could die.
And they go, I don't know what you're talking about.
I don't care about that.
And you're like, your gas prices are up 50 cents.
Well, hold on.
What?
I noticed that.
I'm mad.
It's because of Joe Biden's war in Ukraine.
And I say Joe Biden's war because I fully understand that Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine, but Joe Biden decided to involve the U.S.
in something that doesn't involve us.
So, that is his war.
You can blame a lot on Putin, but why are we involved?
So, if you want to talk to people and you want to convince them to pay attention to this, you can be like, hey, you know your gas is going up because of this, and that means you can't pay your rent, you're not gonna be able to buy food, it means food costs are gonna go up, labor costs are gonna go up, and you can thank Joe Biden.
joel berry
Well, he's burning through our strategic oil reserves right now, too.
Oh yeah, man!
He's just holding off until the election.
As soon as the election is over, gas prices are gonna skyrocket.
I don't know how much reserves we have left, but I think we're at kind of a record low.
ian crossland
$8.80 gas in California last week.
What the hell?
It was $0.89 when I was 18.
tim pool
I mean, if you're looking to have some kind of large reformatting, This is great!
ian crossland
Yeah, like some sort of massive power-off, power-on thing.
A hard reboot.
tim pool
A large reboot.
ian crossland
It turned out it was a massive reboot.
tim pool
A gigantic restart.
lydia smith
Yes.
tim pool
An impactful new beginning.
ian crossland
But we're still going to need oil.
Even if there's a gray reset, we still need oil.
tim pool
If they cut off the oil, I think, like, billions will die.
Like, within the first few days of oil getting cut off, 60 million, I think.
Are the estimates between 20 and 60 million?
ian crossland
Dude, I'm looking at this technology where a guy puts oil in his, like, deoxygenated pressure chamber, or puts plastic, rather, in his deoxygenated pressure chamber, and then turns it back into oil, and then can reuse the oil.
tim pool
Well, what kind of plastic, and is the video fake?
ian crossland
It was like some Japanese guy from, like, six or seven years ago, and it was on a small scale.
tim pool
I don't believe it, man.
I saw a video of a guy levitating objects and perpetual motion machines.
ian crossland
I'll see if I can pull it up.
It was pretty basic.
And I think it's still to be re-refined, re-refined to be able to use like gasoline, but it was oil.
tim pool
I think people need to understand too, like, people like Greta Thunberg, when she's like, we have to stop the fossil fuels now!
You need to imagine an iron gauntlet on her hand and her slamming the table because she's talking about killing people.
joel berry
Mass genocide.
tim pool
Mass genocide's called, like cutting off fossil fuels abruptly and outright will just kill tens of millions instantly and then within a few days.
joel berry
Well, they're already doing it with famine, you know.
tim pool
But give it a few years and then there's going to be famines, power shortages, and you're going to see, look, take a look at the population growth charts and then right around the advent of fossil fuels, it just goes straight up.
It goes from, like, a consistent 500 million people in the world throughout history, and then right before the turn of the century, it just jumps to the billions, and then it keeps climbing exponentially.
And it's because of this massive, energy-rich product.
If you cut that off, it's gonna go, whoosh, right back down.
ian crossland
Here's the video, it's called New Inventions Machine Reverts Plastic Back to Oil.
we get for this machine keeps trying this is called machine reverts plastic
back to oil it's new inventions machine reverts plastic back to oil it's from
about 11 years ago and the name that the inventor is Akinori Ito he was the CEO
of blessed.co.ltd at the time The website now, that link is no longer working.
I don't know what the status of this technology is right now.
But I mean, if one guy and a small company can make this on a small scale, where's our industrial plastic recycling?
tim pool
We got a CBC report.
Apparently, they're doing it.
unidentified
This big pile of trash and these tiny pieces of plastic... Is this what you're talking about?
tim pool
No, this is a Canadian company.
It says they figured out how to do it.
ian crossland
That would be a diesel fuel that we're getting out of here.
unidentified
Wow.
ian crossland
And a gasoline.
tim pool
Gasoline from plastic?
In this case, this is the two that we've set up to do.
ian crossland
Plastic is just like oil.
And it came out of the ground at one time the same way.
tim pool
We are taking plastic and we are converting it using a process called pyrolysis where we're converting it into a fuel So we know that Bill Gates has people who monitor conversations about him.
So, you know, of course, when the show starts, they tell him, uh, Mr. Gates, Tim Kest, Ira Relezon, well, turn it on the TV.
And now he's watching and he sees this clip and he goes, what?
And then he's like slamming the table and he's going to call and he's like, shut him down.
We don't want people to live.
ian crossland
You solved my problem!
tim pool
No, no, no, no, no, no.
His problem isn't the use of fossil fuels.
His problem is that the use of fossil fuels makes more people.
joel berry
You're causing my problem!
I want to ask this question, because maybe it's a little philosophical.
What do you think drives this anti-human bent in these people?
Schwab, Bill Gates, this... Demons?
ian crossland
Gravity.
The pain of being sucked down to a planet.
The pain, the physical pain that we've become desensitized to makes people hate themselves.
luke rudkowski
To answer your question, I think there's a combination of Satanists, demons, people with mental health issues, but in a more simple way, throughout human history, there has always been someone trying to conquer the world.
That's not something that's out of the ordinary.
It is the norm whether it's Genghis Khan, Napoleon, Caesar, whoever it may be, they become so empowered by other individuals that that power corrupts them.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
And these individuals have reached such power, such wealth, that they are going along with what Hitler did, with what Mao did, with what Stalin did.
Trying to conquer and control human life for their own personal benefit.
Sociopathic demons is one easy way to describe them.
Another way to describe them is, of course, just saying throughout human history there have always been these types of people that challenge us and try to conquer everything.
joel berry
Yeah.
ian crossland
Alexander the Great, he was on a conquering spree going east, taking like all of, you know, what is it?
Ursa Minor, that east, uh, Western Asia.
And it got to the point where he conquered so much of Persia, maybe even all of Persia.
And then his generals were like, okay, Alex, we've had enough.
We want to go home to see our wives.
It's been 15 years.
You promised that, you know, this is all about making our lives better.
And Alex was like, we must go on.
We must continue.
And they fought and he kept taking them.
They're like, we're done.
And then one day Alexander woke up and he was very sick from the night before.
I think they poisoned him.
I mean, the theory is that his generals poisoned him because they couldn't stop him.
Once he got into that state of mind, got conquering, and he thought he was the son of God, like, he was, like, educated by Aristotle.
His mother told him he was a god, a god man.
Like, he thought he was there to conquer Earth.
And the only way to stop someone like that, at least to his generals, was he had to stop him.
Because he wasn't going to stop.
luke rudkowski
Why do you think?
joel berry
Well, I don't know.
I do think it's a spiritual battle that you alluded to.
If we were created by God, we're made in His image, and there is a Satan, you have to assume that he hates the image of God.
He despises us, and I think if those forces are at work in the world, There's always going to be those people who rise up and who kind of just naturally hate God's image, you know, on the earth.
And so it's probably kind of his oldest time, like you said.
It just takes different iterations, you know, throughout history.
luke rudkowski
There's always some jerk taking a dump in the punch bowl.
ian crossland
It's gotta be like... And then that's history.
Like fear of being attacked.
Like what Zelensky was saying, we need to preemptively strike so that they don't attack us.
Like what the Romans did, we need to conquer everyone around us so that we don't get attacked.
Because if you actually are attacked and your city's sacked, like Rome, happened to Rome in the early days, there's like, took 200 years to recover from that.
Like it can annihilate a civilization if you're attacked.
So there's this idea of like, I need to conquer the earth so that the earth doesn't conquer me.
joel berry
Do you think we're bored too?
We're just so comfortable and happy and we have everything we need.
luke rudkowski
Yep.
joel berry
Mankind gets to a point where they just get bored and we just have to destroy something so we can build it up again.
tim pool
Life used to be about survival.
80-90% of your day was just wake up, work, otherwise you don't have food, winter is coming, are you ready?
Now we've got heating, refrigeration, we can have strawberries in the dead of winter, we can have avocados, fresh, tableside guacamole prepared to order in January.
Now that's something to behold.
So it's just, we just, we, you know, they talk about, like, we gotta end global poverty and blah blah blah, and I'm like, I get it, but there's no such thing as ending poverty.
Because even the poorest people in the world have access to technologies that were unthinkable a hundred years ago.
Not that they have consistent access to it, but even in the United States, the poorest person in the U.S.
can get clean drinking water very, very easily.
You walk into a McDonald's and you're like, water.
You're good.
Try doing that in some other parts of the world where there's no water and they're desperate.
luke rudkowski
Well, I don't think that also explains it, because throughout human history, when there was no drinking water, tribes used to kill other tribes.
Whether it was Native Americans, whether it was Europeans, there was always someone trying to kill someone else for their resources, for their clean water, for their food, and for their energy and ability to survive as well.
This has been happening for a very very long time now it's it only gets a lot more sophisticated it only gets a lot more complicated because of these technological advancements that allow people to hide behind the scenes and to impose their will in a fifth generational warfare way where people don't even realize that they're being depopulated that they're being chemically attacked that they're being castrated that they're being taught and manipulated in a way that they become self
destructive ...
and destroy themselves as a would-be dictator is literally ...
pulling the strings and calling the shots without anyone even ...
knowing their name I think that's a more likely scenario ...
with what we're dealing with right now then previously in ...
archaic times where you would stab someone and you go into ...
Now the battle, I think, is in our minds and I think that battle is expanding in a way that there's no denying that it exists, especially with the dehumanization that we have seen within the last few years.
ian crossland
Yeah, I was thinking about the ballistics and how they've changed war, like being able to not have to look your enemy in the eye when you kill them.
But then I'm thinking about the Romans and how they basically genocided the Gauls.
They went through all of France and just millions of people were slaughtered at the hands of the Romans.
And I think it gets to the point where the killers enjoy killing.
Like they learned to dehumanize these things that they're attacking, and they enjoy the abusive behavior.
Like it's a powerful rush you gain from it.
You get food and money and jewels and women after you make the kill.
And it's like, Addictive.
tim pool
And when it becomes easy for them, and they think about, you know, these people have ideas I don't like, hey, it's just that much easier.
ian crossland
They don't even think of us as people, too.
It's so crazy how the dehumanization can happen.
Call them savage or whatever you want to call them.
tim pool
Yeah, I'm telling you, they treat us like chickens.
Look, I was saying this earlier today on my other show.
The government deeply cares about you.
Your government cares about you, they care about your well-being, and they want you to be healthy and happy insofar as you can provide labor for them.
Everything else—your love, your life, your faith, your dreams—completely meaningless.
And if you get in the way of their labor machine, you are expendable.
So they care about you as much as I care about, say, chickens.
Like I don't want harm to befall them, but if I have to get rid of a cocky rooster,
he's going out to cock town or he's getting chopped up for lunch.
They give me eggs, I don't care what else they do in the meantime.
But if they start doing things I don't like, then you go in and you deal with them.
That's how they view people.
We provide labor, we do work, it allows them to live in their Elysium golden towers
with golden toilets.
But if we start acting out of line, speaking up and challenging their authority,
the reality is we aren't chickens, We are humans and humans are smart.
Smart enough.
So, if there are smart people who can challenge them at the top, that's a problem.
I got nothing to worry about.
There's zero chance Roberto Jr.
is gonna figure out how to come in here and take this company over.
He's a rooster.
ian crossland
Near zero chance.
tim pool
Near zero chance.
There's a small percentage chance.
But, for human beings, When we do shows like this, the people who are currently holding the keys to the chicken coop in which we are all imprisoned, they have to be careful because people are smart enough to break free from that.
And that means you ain't getting any eggs anymore.
ian crossland
That's why we have politics, because people are too smart, so we need a mind control system to utilize their intelligence without allowing them to seize control.
joel berry
And that's possibly why we've seen such a ramp-up with what's happening globally, and the Great Reset and all this war, is because of the information age.
This is the advent of the printing press, with the internet.
We now have all this access to information without gatekeepers, and so it does seem like the powers that be are very violently reacting to that.
tim pool
Boy, do they regret that one!
luke rudkowski
But to add to your point, Ian, talking about politics, I think politics is just there to placate the population.
I think it's there to just convince people that they actually have a say in In things when they actually don't it's it's like a fisher price toy that you give to a child that you just distract them with thinking that they're actually cooking a meal when they're actually not I think that our political system is run the same exact way and there's powerful people behind the scenes calling the shots getting whatever they want convincing you brainwashing you and screwing you over every single day and they're doing it more than ever
And there was even a mainline study that we talked about a couple years ago, I think on this show specifically, talking about how our form of government is a joke.
It doesn't exist.
We don't live under a democracy.
We don't have a democracy because special interests always get their way.
What people want never happens.
tim pool
Plutonomy.
luke rudkowski
Plutocracy, I think.
tim pool
No, plutonomy was the report.
I think it was from Citigroup.
luke rudkowski
Okay, yeah.
tim pool
They said the United States is not a democracy.
It's a plutonomy where the wealthiest control the system.
ian crossland
Yeah, a great example of that is superdelegates.
The Democratic Party, no matter who votes for what, when you go to the polls, at the very end, the superdelegates are going to come and be like, actually, we're going to make Joe Biden the nominee.
Like, you're not voting for the nominee.
You're voting for people that you hope will nominate the person you want them to vote for.
It's not democracy in the slightest.
I like this plutonomy.
tim pool
Yeah, this is the document.
It's the Plutonomy PDF.
Citigroup.
Equity strategy.
Plutonomy.
Buying luxury.
Explaining global imbalances.
The world is dividing into two blocks.
The Plutonomy and the rest.
The U.S., U.K., and Canada are the key Plutonomies.
Economies powered by the wealthy.
Continental Europe.
Ex-Italy.
And Japan are the egalitarian block.
Equity, risk, premium, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
The plutonomy machine.
Economies driven by the wealthy.
ian crossland
That's China right now.
The industrial wealth.
Wealth is distribution.
Wealth is production.
It's not about how many dollars you have.
It's about what you're producing.
And the Chinese people are producing like mad at the moment.
joel berry
We're producing a lot of paper money, so there's that.
True.
ian crossland
We've chosen a private company to do that for us at their own discretion.
joel berry
The Federal Reserve.
tim pool
Plutonomy is a term that refers to the science of the production of distribution of wealth.
In modern times, Citigroup analysts, beginning with A.J.
Kapoor in 2005, have used the term to describe an economy in which the rich are the driving forces and main beneficiaries of economic growth.
Others, including Noam Chomsky, have used the term to refer to a nation or economy in which wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few.
And there you go, that's where you are.
And then they can use that for access, for lobbying, for manipulation, for media control.
And then they create little underlings who go on Twitter and lie to you, and know they lied to you, and that's it.
It's just, some people are just evil.
I was thinking about this, when they, I saw some, I can't remember what I was watching, but they were like, Republicans are trying to bring about evil into this country or whatever.
And then I thought about that, I'm like, well, they know that's not serious.
Like these people know that they're the ones who are lying because there's no way you can believe every single lie
from the mainstream media unless, you know, like there's no way you can keep saying this
and believe these lies unless there's something wrong with you or you're just pushing the lies.
And so what I think is they view freedom and liberty as chaos and evil.
Whereas we view authoritarianism and manipulation evil.
So to them, they're like, these people are evil.
They want just chaos, people doing everything, and then it all burns down and climate change.
joel berry
I picture them like the guy in the basement that paints the little, you know, figures.
Nothing wrong with that, but like, you know, that has the scene set up and everything just so, and everything posed, maybe like a little train set or something like that.
And, you know, imagine if those figures were about to, you know, have agency or free will, and it's just, the guy loses his mind.
It's kind of, they're people tinkering with a train set in their basement.
ian crossland
Obsessed with order.
Yeah, whereas libertarians are obsessed with chaos.
Maybe not, but I mean, if you When you become obsessed with chaos or order, you become very dangerous.
joel berry
There's got to be a balance.
ian crossland
Yeah, there it does.
Because too much order is show me your papers or get in the cell.
Too much chaos is I lit it on fire.
I don't even know where the fire is anymore.
tim pool
Yeah.
luke rudkowski
Well, the really great and really bad thing about our current dichotomy is that in this larger war, people are literally killing and taking themselves out.
It's a really bad thing because it's horrible to see and you try to prevent it, but a lot of times it's very difficult to do so.
On another aspect, it's a good thing because at the same time it could be stopped just by information, just by knowledge, just by people being able to talk to each other in a transparent, accountable, full, honest, real, truthful way.
And the internet provides us a small opportunity to do that, but it's being limited every single day because of that particular reason.
This is why this move by Twitter, again, It's going to be interesting to see how it plays out, but I think it provides a huge potential that could really upend and shift things.
Will it happen?
I'm skeptical, but I do see it as something that could change the world for the better as people realize, hey, maybe I shouldn't be hurting myself.
Maybe I shouldn't be treating myself bad.
Maybe I should start eating better.
Maybe I should start working out.
Maybe I shouldn't just listen and do everything that they tell me to do and I keep getting screwed over by it.
And I think the more people have those conversations and actually open themselves up to fixing themselves, they won't be killing themselves and blowing themselves up, figuratively, mentally speaking.
ian crossland
Yeah, drug addiction, like, and I'm talking about high fructose corn syrup, sugars as well, types of drugs like that, something the government can't really I can kind of control it by banning certain substances, but the whole, like, obesity epidemic, because like you were saying earlier, the government wants workers, they want chickens that just do their chicken thing and lay the eggs, but then why are they letting people get obese?
I don't think that, I think it's just, it's bigger than gut, like, economy is, is, the market is stronger than our government.
It always probably has been.
joel berry
I mean, we have very few food companies controlling most of the food supply chain now, and they're very well connected in government.
And I think they have a lot of power, you know, over what goes in our food, over what goes on our nutrition labels.
And so I think a lot of our diet, our American diet, is dictated by the lobbyists for these companies in Washington.
tim pool
I want to jump to this story we got from Timcast.com.
Biden pardons federal convictions for low-level marijuana possession.
Today, we begin to right these wrongs, Biden said.
The pardon also applies to lawful permanent residents who have been charged with simple possession, as well as individuals who have been charged but not yet stood trial.
Quote, as I've said before, no one should be in jail just for using or possessing marijuana.
Today, I'm taking steps to end our failed approach.
Allow me to lay them out.
Okay.
I agree with this.
I said Trump should have done the same thing.
I don't like Joe Biden, and this earns no brownie points as far as I'm concerned, because I think this is just pandering.
But I still, look, respect where credit is due.
I think they should have been doing this a long time ago.
I think Donald Trump should have done it.
I don't trust Biden to actually do anything.
I don't think Democrats are actually gonna, you know, take marijuana off schedule one.
But what do you guys think?
joel berry
Do we know how many people this represents?
I mean, are we talking about thousands, millions?
tim pool
I think it's thousands.
lydia smith
I have seen it at the federal level right now.
There are zero.
That's what I heard.
tim pool
Zero?
lydia smith
I didn't check it out.
I didn't check it out.
For this minor thing that they're classing it under what is a simple possession, there's no one.
Which would be really interesting.
I did see a meme earlier today about- So this could just be a publicity stunt then?
Yeah, sure could be.
I just saw a meme earlier today about Kamala Harris looking through the blinds very sadly as Joe Biden releases all the people she was so carefully putting in jail for marijuana possession.
ian crossland
That's funny.
lydia smith
Poor Kamala.
ian crossland
I kind of- Poor Kamala.
lydia smith
I know, poor Kamala.
ian crossland
I like the way this sounds, though I haven't looked into it yet.
It's similar to that AI Bill of Rights that they proposed a few days ago.
I think that even an incompetent government can get stuff right, and, you know, no one's pure evil or pure good.
So, in a way, I mean, definitely we should make marijuana not Schedule 1 narcotic.
Completely insane.
It's a plant.
It's like an herb.
Yeah, just don't overuse the thing.
It's a freaking drug.
It's potent.
luke rudkowski
The war on drugs is a farce that just abuses people that have substance abuse problems that are never dealt with and only made worse and people are made harder criminals and bigger criminals just by going into our penitentiary system.
I think they're reaching in a bag.
They're like, holy cow, we screwed these people over really bad.
We robbed them of all their money.
We robbed them of energy.
We robbed them of any kind of potential.
Let's just give them a little crumb here, and let's hope that affects the upcoming elections, because I think they are desperate.
I think the war on drugs, just like the war on terror, is just manufactured to control populations.
It's good to see a portion of it stop, but will this actually have real effect?
Again, I'm skeptical.
tim pool
Yeah, he's saying that he's calling on the Attorney General to initiate a process of reviewing how marijuana is scheduled under federal law because it's considered more serious than fentanyl, which is just insane.
lydia smith
That's so crazy.
tim pool
Yep.
Why didn't Trump do it though?
luke rudkowski
Good question.
ian crossland
Why?
I don't know.
tim pool
Bad advice?
Did he say he was going to do it?
That the split between the traditional conservatives who do vote for him and the MAGA types who
are more libertarian?
ian crossland
He thought he wouldn't get real.
joel berry
Yeah, I think it would have potentially split his base and been harmful to him politically.
ian crossland
He might not have won if he didn't do it.
tim pool
I don't think it would have been harmful to him at all.
I think there would have been some people who would have been like, I don't think he's right to do, but there's no way I'm voting for Biden.
You know?
ian crossland
Let the states decide, jeez.
tim pool
Like, do you think any Trump supporter is going to vote for Joe Biden for doing this?
ian crossland
No, he's got to earn my respect in many, many ways, more than one or two moves.
The student loan thing, for instance.
All of a sudden, he went back on it.
They were going to give $10,000.
Everyone that has a loan.
And it turns out, not if you have a private loan.
Only if you have government loans only.
Sorry.
And there's so many people with private loans that aren't getting them.
tim pool
Oh, they're going to walk the whole thing back.
lydia smith
Of course.
tim pool
It's going to be like the day before the election.
He's going to be like, oh yeah, how about that?
He's going to crumple it up and throw it in the garbage.
ian crossland
There was no public... I didn't see like a public...
Press conference about not doing it.
joel berry
They just quietly were like, that's what all this stuff is.
He's just throwing stuff against the wall.
He's going to keep doing that until election day.
tim pool
It's because he can't do it anyway.
joel berry
He's got nothing else.
tim pool
This is why we have this weird pseudo war, you know, with Russia, because they're not allowed to do it.
Joe Biden doesn't have the authority to forgive student loans.
So naturally within a month or a few months, they're like, oh yeah, he's not actually doing that.
Like imagine if Joe Biden came out, he's like, I'm going to give everybody who votes for me a thousand dollars.
He can't.
So it's like he's lying, you know, people believe it.
I guess that's government though, right?
joel berry
What else is new?
ian crossland
Half the time, at least.
tim pool
That's generous.
unidentified
It's a lot of like projections about what they're going to do.
luke rudkowski
Are you kidding me?
ian crossland
I'll say like, we're going to fill in the blank and like, yeah, you didn't do it yet.
Wait, do it and then tell me you did it.
Then that at least isn't a lie.
tim pool
It's like Lydia was saying that there might not even be a single person.
luke rudkowski
I just pulled it up.
I don't know if this is correct, but I'm hearing that 99% of federal drug offenders are sentenced for trafficking.
I haven't fact checked this.
So someone could fact check this and that only 92 people were sentenced for marijuana possession in the federal system in 2017.
out of nearly 20,000 drug convictions. So, um, yeah, it's like if Joe Biden came out and was
tim pool
like, all those, you know, children who are negatively impacted by the alien invasion
will receive a million dollars from the government. You're like, okay, that's zero. It's like, Hey,
Hey, we're helping kids. Right. Kept that promise because people will hear this. This is brilliant.
Man, you know, in terms of manipulating people, this is just so good.
Announcing that you're going to be partying a tiny, tiny group of people, but then saying there are thousands of people who were previously convicted.
Convincing people that you actually did a thing when there's no one that's, for the most part, being affected.
Now look, to those 92 people in 2017 or whatever, I'm sure there was 100 in 2018, 19, 20, 21, 22.
So we're looking at maybe, you know, several hundred people.
I'm sure their lives will be improved by this.
ian crossland
Hell yeah.
tim pool
But he's not doing what I suggested Trump do, which was basically pardon anybody for any crime relating to any non-violent crime who didn't plead down.
So that means if they had like large possession or trafficking, I don't care.
ian crossland
Yeah, trafficking for reference is when you have 25 kilograms or more or 300 or more plants of marijuana.
tim pool
Here's what you do.
Everybody who's been convicted for that If they didn't plead down from a violent offense, they should have to go through a mandatory licensing process and then be released.
That's it.
You were trafficking all of this agricultural product without a permit.
So it's a $50 fine.
Get your permit.
Have a nice day.
luke rudkowski
Get rid of the permitting system right away.
I'm disgusted by that sound.
tim pool
I'm just saying.
The appropriate thing to do is...
luke rudkowski
Let people be, and if they're not hurting anyone, if they're just deciding to smoke something or put something in their body, it's their choice and their decision.
Even though they should be informed, though, that there are extremely negative consequences that we're not being told when it comes to marijuana, and marijuana is becoming more potent, is becoming more dangerous, and does have negative effects on some human beings.
So people need to understand, there's dangers in doing this, but at the same time, the government coming in and throwing you in jail for doing this is not going to solve the problem.
tim pool
I had some old hippies talking to me about how pot today is nothing like it was in the 70s.
Like in the 70s, it was weak.
And they were like, yeah, so you'd smoke.
And it was like, you know, now it's just like, boom, it's very powerful stuff.
So maybe, you know, we gotta be careful about all drugs, but, you know, look, man, my attitude is, if you wanna go into your closet and, you know, smoke, inject, I don't know, whatever, as long as you're not hurting other people, I actually think that regulation is the best way towards helping people, ending the violence.
By pushing it into the black market, you only create a space for this.
So the appropriate thing to do, in my opinion, is legalize with restrictions.
If people are addicted to opiates, give them a space where you can go and help them and make sure they don't die from it.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Instead, they tell you, well, you might as well go hide in a basement.
Now, when you OD, too bad, no one's going to call for help because they're scared of the jail.
ian crossland
Or when you can't get your prescription filled, you'll go down to Skid Row to find somebody with fentanyl.
When they run out of their Oxycontin or whatever, they look for something else because they don't...
Yeah, man, but the thing about weed is it is legal.
I'm like, what am I?
Okay, let's go with it.
No, it's addictive.
And, you know, mildly, I think physically, definitely psychologically addictive and giving it to kids is messed up.
I used to know kids in high school that I never smoked until I was 23.
But like in high school, they were just slow and dull and like bored with school and like, Maybe they were slow and dull and bored of school anyway, but they would be more slow and more dull when they would come into work smelling like pot and like, you know, weren't mean or anything.
We're just like, I don't know.
luke rudkowski
It should be just like alcohol, you know, and, and, you know, marijuana does have some medicinal properties, but at the same time, there's also other forms of marijuana that will absolutely knock you on your butt and have very severe negative consequences, especially if your child, as it rewires your brain and, and Predominantly, it does make a lot of people lazy.
Some people, it actually makes them energized.
Some people, it actually gives them inspiration.
Some people, it helps.
Some people, it hurts.
Just like anything in life.
joel berry
Lazy.
When I went to Colorado and I partook for the first time, I remember having this thought like, holy cow, this is kind of dangerous for me because I I, right now, I feel like I would be completely happy never accomplishing anything ever again.
Everything's good right now.
ian crossland
It's a big part of the transhumanist agenda is putting the metaverse on psychedelics.
joel berry
They just want you sitting down.
luke rudkowski
Yeah, I'm surprised the government's not giving out free weed at this point.
I see them doing this a couple years Just from now being like, yes, get high, just totally forget about everything.
Just go on the couch, just sit there, don't worry about anything.
There's a nice pod next to that couch that we're also gonna give you.
joel berry
Next will be, what was that?
Children of Men, remember that movie when they were handing out suicide kits to everybody in little boxes?
tim pool
They're gonna try and create some kind of patentable derivative that they can control the price on.
Then they're gonna say, everybody needs this because it de-stresses.
And then they're gonna say the government should pay for it.
Everybody gets taxed without realizing it, and then they're paying for the thousand-dollar pills.
ian crossland
It's Marinol.
It's called Marinol, and its international non-proprietary name is Dronabinol, also known as Delta-9 Tetrahydrocannabinol.
I guess they've pharmaceuticalized it.
Marinol, Sindros, Reduvo, and Adversa.
luke rudkowski
Adversa?
Whatever you do, do not smoke the government weed.
Do not take the Selma.
Whatever you do.
ian crossland
Cheap and free, Luke.
lydia smith
Don't eat the bugs.
ian crossland
Insurance is going to cover it.
luke rudkowski
What was that movie?
Children of Men?
joel berry
Children of Men, yeah.
luke rudkowski
We're closely approaching that future, and that's terrifying.
If you haven't watched that movie, it's soon to be a documentary.
tim pool
Did you see the videos out of Canada?
Where the guy's like, he calls the hotline and they're like, if you need help dying, let us know.
joel berry
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
They're like pushing people to that.
lydia smith
Yeah.
joel berry
Well, and we're almost seeing that a little bit in the States, too, with insurance companies that will, you know, they won't cover your surgery or your treatment, but they will cover, you know, your, what do you call it, your death with dignity.
You know, we'll give you painkillers until you die.
There's kind of that movement.
Just scoot people along.
Let's move it along here.
Wow.
You want to know where we're headed in 10-15 years.
Look at Canada.
Look at Europe.
That's where we're headed.
ian crossland
I think we need ethics oversight over pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies.
I mean, it's got to be like governmental ethics.
That's a big part of our government is ethics.
That's the dudes that wrote the U.S.
Constitution were ethicists.
They understood religious and moral ethics.
And that's why there were so many of them.
They didn't agree on the logics and the literals all the time, but they got like the ethics for the most part.
You know, the slavery thing was still debatable at the time.
lydia smith
So I think the Founding Fathers really understood human nature, which is probably what made them strong ethicists.
And I think you're correct.
I think the problem now is that I don't think government ethics is ethical.
I don't think it's ever a good idea for a government ethics board to oversee something like the pharmaceutical company.
I think they're too tightly combined.
I think it needs to be an independent outside organization.
I have seen Marinol used.
It was used to stimulate appetite for an older lady who was really struggling to eat.
So it does have, like, good purposes, but it's not... I'm from Colorado, so I've seen what marijuana does to people.
And people used to tell me all the time, oh, it can cure anything.
It cures cancer.
What are you talking about?
You're just being a downer.
I was like, I have seen it change people.
And I've had people tell me, I wish I'd never started marijuana or I wish I hadn't started as young as I did.
It changed my overall life experience.
Hugely negative.
But that said, it should not be illegal.
ian crossland
I could say I missed a lot of opportunities because I was stoned, but that's blaming the weed.
It was my own fault.
I had to make the final decision.
joel berry
It could have been video games.
It could have been alcohol.
Human beings find something.
ian crossland
Yeah, but it was me.
I made the choice not to go do the things that I feel like I missed out on.
I blamed the weed for years and stressed my family out about it, and then they started freaking out about weed.
It wasn't the weed.
It was me.
It was my own personal lazy choice.
tim pool
So, you gotta make sure that whatever's giving you that dopamine hit, it's a positive thing with the future.
I think South Park said it well when it's like, they're talking to the kids about their future selves, like they hired this company that sends in fake versions of them from the future who are like, hey guys, I started smoking weed and then I became a loser.
And then finally at the end, Randy's like, son, you know, there's nothing really bad about smoking pot other than it makes you okay with being bored.
And then when you're older, you'll find that you're not good at anything.
luke rudkowski
Plus, the government ships in all the drugs they usually have through the CIA, especially as we found out through the Iran-Contra scandal, and I could keep going, but there's also some other breaking news happening right now.
I don't know if you guys are seeing this from the Associated Press.
They're talking about how Biden, at a fundraiser in New York, talked about how Putin is, quote, not joking about tactical nuclear weapons.
Armageddon risk at highest level since Cuban Missile Crisis.
So these are words from the President of the United States, specifically talking about the dangers that all of us face because of his reckless foreign policy that has brought us to what he describes himself as Armageddon, which is crazy.
tim pool
So this is actually breaking right now.
So much so, it's one sentence.
Biden, quote, Putin not joking about tactical nuclear weapons, Armageddon risk at highest levels since Cuban Missile Crisis.
Well, hold on.
Maybe people might need that pot.
lydia smith
Don't write that off too soon.
luke rudkowski
Do they have marijuana linked to iodine pills?
tim pool
They're going to start giving out marinol and potassium iodide.
And the first one is to help keep you alive by protecting your thyroid.
The second one is to chill you out.
You need to chill out.
ian crossland
I think that fear of nuclear war benefits the military-industrial complex.
So if Biden is functioning as a mouthpiece for that, or if he's just completely an NPC, just afraid of normal everyday stimuli that the more intelligent, evolved people can kind of see around and understand the basics of, I don't know, the White House will walk this back tomorrow.
joel berry
He used the word Armageddon.
I mean, you know Peter Doocy or whoever is going to be in the president, you know, like, are we headed towards Armageddon, Karine Jean-Pierre?
And she's going to be like, blah blah blah, and she's going to flip through her notebook.
tim pool
And then she's going to say something that's like, well, you know, Armageddon, that's a word, and words have meanings.
And when a meaning is brought up, people have to wonder, why?
Cause Armageddon, that's an interesting thing to say.
And then they're like, okay, I don't, I don't, what?
And she'll be like, I answered your question.
ian crossland
She has the Obama cadence.
She'll be like, we, uh, we, we very much, uh, does that, uh, a lot.
joel berry
We believe in the president, Buttigieg.
The president's been very clear and he's been very clear from the beginning about what we've said, about what we believe and what we want to do and Armageddon, you know.
tim pool
But you're missing the snoot when she does it.
Barack Obama does the, uh, lizard.
We, uh, but what she does is she does that, um, and she closes her eyes and looks down like that.
You're so stupid.
You really?
joel berry
I'm speaking.
ian crossland
Pete Buttigieg does it too.
It's real annoying.
Like Obama spawned a genre of politicians that, uh, say, uh, and, uh, and, uh, talk like this.
Uh, there's Kareem Jean-Pierre, Buttigieg.
I think, uh, uh, what's his name?
Buttigieg.
joel berry
Those are people who don't believe in anything.
ian crossland
It'll work a little bit.
joel berry
Um, and who are, are biding time in their mind to think of the lie.
That's, that's people who need that many pauses.
ian crossland
Yeah, that's what she's doing.
joel berry
They have no foundation, they have no beliefs that just spill out.
Absolutely.
All politics.
tim pool
That's how you know Ben Shapiro is the most honest person ever.
He talks so fast.
It's just like, there's no opportunity for him to think of anything.
joel berry
It goes straight from the heart out of his mouth.
Doesn't even touch his lungs.
lydia smith
I feel like that's actually a fair observation, because he does speak very quickly and very directly.
And I don't think that speaking quickly is a marker that you're telling the truth, because we've known a lot of people who can really spin really fast.
It's actually really impressive.
But it's possible that telling the truth is just easier, and it makes it quicker for you to access those ideas.
joel berry
Yeah, it's natural.
lydia smith
Yeah, it's nice, right?
ian crossland
I found that.
Releasing my past secrets on YouTube videos.
It was humiliating, but I've got like a hundred of them where I'm just talking about my past and my secrets and all of a sudden I didn't, they didn't pop into my head in the middle of conversations.
I didn't have to remember or think like, was I lying or was I, am I hiding something here?
You can just kind of flow with whatever.
joel berry
Yeah.
tim pool
I want you to do me a favor.
I want you to make me a promise that if a nuclear strike is imminent where we live and there is no escape, I want you to stand atop the van, driving full speed, holding American flag, while blasting It's the End of the World As We Know It by R.E.M.
ian crossland
You like that song?
tim pool
Well, I mean, for this scenario, yeah.
luke rudkowski
While we hide in the bunker with our iodine pills.
tim pool
No, I'm saying, I don't want Ian to die in a blaze of glory unless there's no other choice, but then it would just be the greatest ending, you know, to any story ever.
ian crossland
Oh yeah, when Power 108 turned into 107.9, the end, they played that song for 24 hours.
In Ohio, Northeast Ohio.
tim pool
What's up, dawgs?
ian crossland
If you're from Northeast Ohio in the 80s, you remember that night.
tim pool
I remember, because I'm from Chicago, Q101 changed.
It was like a rock station, and it turned into like talk radio or something.
And then it just flopped miserably, so they changed it back.
But my favorite thing about Q101 is that I'm sure even today, I don't know, I haven't been to Chicago in a while, I'm sure they're still just playing Stunt Double Pilots.
Like, they never stopped playing 1990s music.
Like, 92.
joel berry
Because that's the people who are listening to the radio.
Who else is listening?
tim pool
They never changed?
Yeah.
This is interesting.
Cultural stagnation.
Not just in that, you know, because I grew up, you put on Q101 in Chicago and they're playing Grunge and it was modern.
And then 10 years later, they're still playing these songs with some new music.
And then it's 20 years later and I'm just like, man, they're still playing, you know, Stone Devil Pilots and like Pearl Jam and stuff.
I bet they're still, they're probably still doing it today if they exist.
I don't know, again, I haven't been there.
But then I'm just looking at a lot of these bands.
I talked about this a little bit the other day, that you're surprised they're in their 50s and they're still making new albums.
unidentified
Yes.
tim pool
And why is it that... 3.11?
ian crossland
Oh, I don't know if it's new.
joel berry
Well, I mean... Still touring, you know?
tim pool
Yeah.
But why is it that back in the day, at a certain age, the music stopped?
Like, you were too old and you were just like, well, we're going to shift, you know, and do something else.
They'd become record producers, they'd work in the industry.
Now it's like 50-year-olds still putting out albums.
Like, what is that?
Is it because they don't have families?
ian crossland
Well, they did.
Like, the Eagles went for a long time.
The Beatles, no, the Beatles broke up.
tim pool
No, but I think a lot of it is that obviously if you're like the Beatles, you never stop.
Your market is working.
ian crossland
But a lot of bands fell out of favor with the current trends.
But for some reason, I think it's simple.
tim pool
But I think a lot of it is that obviously if you're like the Beatles, you never stop.
Your market is working.
But a lot of bands fell out of favor with the current trends, but for some reason.
I think, actually I think it's simple.
The internet.
It used to be that the radio wouldn't play your song anymore because it was outdated.
They'd be like, look, people don't want to buy this stuff anymore.
That was it.
You're off the radio and now you're retired and now you're a has-been.
These days it's like, I got followers on Spotify.
Don't need to stop at all.
The radio is meaningless.
joel berry
So now it's just... You can always be big somewhere.
tim pool
Yeah, we went to Hot Topic.
We were at the mall and we walked past Hot Topic.
On the window for Hot Topic is Nightmare Before Christmas.
I'm like, yo, that movie's 30 years old.
unidentified
That's from the 80s.
tim pool
No, it's 90.
93 or 94 or something like that.
I'm like, it's a 30 year old movie and young kids are, I'm like, everyone in there is a young person.
I couldn't imagine when I was a kid walking into the mall and there was a store that didn't pretend to be a retro store selling everything from the 60s.
joel berry
Well, I think there's nothing, you talk about cultural stagnation, there's like nothing really new coming out anymore.
You know, movies, TV, music, it's all rehashes.
There's nothing original.
Arts in a huge slump.
And so I feel, you know, people kind of are sticking with the people who innovated in the 90s, 80s, 60s.
tim pool
There is actually a new show that I think is really, really good that I've been watching recently.
joel berry
Rings of Power?
unidentified
No.
tim pool
You know, it's been about, it's been a couple months now, and man, the stories are just compelling, they're funny, they make you laugh, make you cry.
Starring Ian Crosland, by the way.
Cast Castle.
It's a great show.
ian crossland
I got emotional at the end.
Did you see yesterday's episode?
It's touching.
We've integrated some powerful music, just a great scene with Chris and I. At the end, me and Chris, like...
A leaf falls off the tree.
As we're shooting, it's like a leaf actually fell off the tree in the middle of the shot.
It was just so natural.
It was so beautiful.
tim pool
Wait, you're not talking about this week's episode?
ian crossland
This week's episode, like yesterday's episode.
tim pool
Civil War.
ian crossland
Yeah, the end of Civil War, the shot is stunning.
Stunning.
Cinematically beautiful.
I don't want to spoil anything for anybody.
I highly recommend going to TimCast.com and checking out the Cast Castle series, because it is new, and it's hot.
tim pool
So people only watch what they already like, they don't want to see anything new, so that's why The Office just keeps getting replayed over and over again.
So there's no reason to do things.
It used to be that there was a finite amount of space, and these networks were trying to be fresh by making new things, but now it doesn't matter anymore.
Look, I just watched Breaking Bad for the first time a couple weeks ago.
And now I'm about to finish Better Call Saul, which, you know, to be fair, Better Call Saul did just finish.
But these are, like, old.
Breaking Bad was old.
It took me 10 years to watch it.
luke rudkowski
I watched The Sopranos a couple months ago.
Loved it.
Incredible.
But again, just like you.
It's all old.
ian crossland
There's too much existential stress on people to be creative these days.
I think if you're stressed out, it's hard to be creative.
Like, in the 90s, people didn't care, man.
They were doing heroin.
They were just rock and roll until they died, those dudes.
joel berry
Well, I also think, too, that with streaming and with the internet, content has increased exponentially.
We've never had more volume in terms of content than we have now.
But the talent pool for writing, acting, creatives has not grown at all.
So it's all spread out more thin.
So you have a lot more content, much less quality.
And so it's really hard to find... I mean, The Office, for example.
There really hasn't been a comedy that has come out since The Office that has matched that.
ian crossland
Well, there was one called The Office.
Remember?
The Office came out and then they made another one called The Office.
unidentified
What?
ian crossland
The British one came out.
It's called The Office.
Ricky Gervais.
And then they immediately remade it because it's like cultural stagnation.
They couldn't even think of a new show.
They just remade The Office.
It was still good, but it was just a remake.
joel berry
And it could never be made today.
You watch old Office episodes, you'd never see that.
tim pool
Oh man, 30 Rock.
In the first season, Tina Fey, she's playing Liz Lemon, says that she tells her friends she voted for Obama, but she actually voted for McCain.
Imagine a modern SNL show where the main character says, I tell everybody I voted for Hillary, but I actually voted for Trump twice.
No way they would ever allow that.
That joke would not fly.
luke rudkowski
The Office, Diversity Day.
I haven't watched The Office, but I just watched a small clip of that.
That would not be OK to do.
ian crossland
Yeah, I want to do, for our, for Cask Castle.
luke rudkowski
But it was really hilarious.
ian crossland
Some racy stuff.
I think that we can, we can do it.
tim pool
I can't spoil anything, but we do have, we have a special guest coming out next week and we're working on one of the most hilariously offensive shows we'll ever do.
ian crossland
Yeah, I wrote a scene for it last night.
tim pool
And I can't say too much, but it's in line with what Luke was talking about, Diversity Day.
So it has to do with the company and how all the employees have to go through training, and it'll be really, really fun.
ian crossland
Dude, Cask Castle's legit, man.
tim pool
It's gonna be, like, shockingly offensive to a lot of people.
ian crossland
It keeps getting better.
Next I want to...
Upgrade our sound quality so it's the same room tone everywhere.
So it's like the same sound.
You don't hear differences and the same lighting.
So once we get a sound and lighting rig, it's basically expanding.
I think what we need to do is establish that it's good enough to keep doing.
And then once that's established, we build out the crew.
tim pool
I think we need a show runner.
Somebody who's got experience having done shows like this before can come in and be like, A, B, C, D is what you're missing, and then we're good to go.
You know, consultant or something like that.
Or maybe something longer standing.
But I'm really excited for... Currently there's one being filmed today, like this week, which will come out Tuesday.
But what's going to be filmed next week is probably going to... I imagine everybody who likes our show is going to absolutely love what we do.
And then there's going to be a bunch of videos posted by a bunch of leftist organizations who are going to be like, Yeah, but it'll be so good that it's indisputable.
ian crossland
That's a thing you want.
I mean, I'm okay with people complaining about it, but it's got to be so good when you finally see the source that you're like, dang.
tim pool
We got big news, my friends!
Big news here!
Shaggy's black.
Shaggy from Scooby-Doo is now officially black, and so is Velma!
Oh wait, that's the wrong story.
unidentified
There we go.
That's not it.
tim pool
That's a bad one.
Here's Velma.
Velma, I think, I don't know if she's black, maybe she's like Indian, like Mindy Kaling.
Oh yeah, that's who plays her.
You know who I'm really offended by?
We have this discussing film, it's like a first look at Shaggy, Daphne, and Fred, voiced by Sam Richardson, Constance Wu, and Glenn Howerton, in HBO Max's adult animated Velma series.
I just want to point out the most offensive thing here is that Shaggy, NORVILLE!
luke rudkowski
He got cancelled. He's fired.
He's fired. Shaggy can't get a job.
It's supposed to be Shaggy, but he's replacing Shaggy.
tim pool
Okay, so, Canon, fact check for all the nerds.
They did, I think it was in a pup named Scooby Doo as a show,
they established that Shaggy's real name was Norville.
That's why they're saying Norville here.
But why?
And they made Shaggy black.
Okay, look, I honestly don't care, but I have a point to be made.
If they were going to choose any character to be black, I find it funny that they chose the stoner munchies guy who is considered a coward.
And that to me is like, why not Fred?
Fred is like the strong leader.
Why would they?
I think it's racist.
joel berry
The progressives always end up being racist in the end.
tim pool
No, honestly, I just think it's really dumb.
luke rudkowski
What's on his head?
joel berry
It's his hair.
luke rudkowski
Shaggy did not have that kind of hair.
lydia smith
That's not Shaggy.
ian crossland
He's no longer Shaggy.
tim pool
Couldn't they have given him just, like, hair like Shaggy, I guess?
Why did they make, I don't understand.
luke rudkowski
They gave the Asian the red hair.
tim pool
It's just, it's just, look, guys.
ian crossland
They made Fred look like an idiot.
tim pool
It's not Scooby-Doo.
luke rudkowski
Fred is going to be the idiot.
tim pool
I think they even made Velma fat.
Like, not like fat fat, but you know, they made her like... Chubby with a little bit of fupa.
Yeah, a little fupa and chubby and just real cringe.
And the trailer for this is her basically saying that you can never change... She's doing a joke where she's like, you can never change things and it's like everything always has to stay the same.
And then she says something like, well, at least the character is still white.
And then it reveals that Velma is now black or whatever.
This is cultural stagnation.
This is the death of art and culture.
They can't make up new ideas.
They've got no new ideas left.
Yo, it's been 50 years.
Scooby.
Come on.
And The Simpsons!
Did you guys see The Simpsons where Abe is gay?
It's like he's bi-curious or whatever.
And then there's another Simpsons episode where Bart gets mad that they gender swap, itchy and scratchy.
And so then feminists make fun of him or something.
Guys!
joel berry
So why do you think they're doing this?
Why do you think that this is, I mean, they're doing this with everything.
tim pool
Every IP out there.
No, I think there's some 80-year-old white executive who typed in, you know, Scooby-Doo into an AI script writer and then it just spat out some garbage and then went, run with it!
And that's it.
joel berry
It's kind of a marketing ploy, too.
I mean, no one cares about a new Scooby-Doo show.
But look at us.
We're talking about it now.
tim pool
This is crazy.
It's because people are permanent children.
Like, dude, I watched Scooby-Doo when I was really little, and it was okay.
And then when I got older, I was like, this is really dumb.
And then I liked things like X-Men, you know?
When I was real little, I was like, Power Rangers was fun.
But then after the first season or whatever, I outgrew it, and I was like eight, and I'm like, I'm too cool for Power Rangers.
Scooby-Doo was just not it.
It was the same story every single time.
We get it, some dude's trying to lower property values so he pretends to be Frankenstein.
Them making a new show that's aimed at adults using these characters and then race swapping them is just like, we are desperate, we don't know what we're doing, we're gonna try and do Ghostbusters 2016 all over again.
ian crossland
Is Scooby in this show?
tim pool
They don't even show Scooby!
lydia smith
There's no Scooby!
joel berry
Scooby is now a kid.
luke rudkowski
He's gonna be a furry.
Scooby's gonna be a furry, I'm calling it right now.
tim pool
They made Daphne Asian.
joel berry
A red-headed Asian?
tim pool
Red-headed Asian.
luke rudkowski
I don't see many red-headed Asians.
unidentified
No man.
lydia smith
It's an alternate universe.
ian crossland
This is the most disappointing to me.
Because he's supposed to be a strong leader, a grounding force.
joel berry
It made him a dope!
luke rudkowski
He was supposed to be a football star, right?
tim pool
I don't know.
ian crossland
He's like 6'3", muscular.
luke rudkowski
Yeah, but now he looks super skinny, super soy.
Confused.
Confused.
Dumb look on his face.
ian crossland
He's usually like pulling Shaggy back from the brink.
That's like his main function.
It's like, hey everybody, remember we have a mission.
tim pool
I love the Super Saiyan Shaggy memes though.
That really is funny.
So have you guys seen that video game Multiverses?
It got a lot of attention. It's like Warner Brothers Smash Brothers.
ian crossland
Yeah, yeah.
tim pool
It got a lot of attention because Velma's super, super move is to call the cops on you.
But I will admit, when I was watching the trailer for the game, I'm like,
oh, so Warner Brothers is putting all their characters into a fighting game.
I'm like, it sounds dumb. And it's like Batman was there.
And then all of a sudden Shaggy shows up, and I think it's funny.
I'm like, ah, Shaggy fighting.
And then someone like knocks a sandwich out of his hand, and then he goes Super Saiyan, and I started busting out laughing.
I'm like, okay, that's good.
I approve.
It is funny Shaggy going Super Saiyan.
But this kind of takes away from that, because I don't know who this again Norville guy is, and I don't know why they're taking away from... Shaggy's an iconic character.
He's like the Scooby-Doo character.
ian crossland
And there's a show called The Orville.
That Seth MacFarlane show is called Orville, and now they just call it Norville.
luke rudkowski
Fred's also demasculated.
He's going to be a low IQ idiot who's going to be making a bunch of mistakes.
He's going to be the dope, and he's going to be the loser, just like every guy who looks like him is portrayed on television.
tim pool
How amazing would it be if Fred is no longer the leader, Norville is, and every time something bad happens, Fred's like, I'm sorry guys, that was my fault.
joel berry
He jumps into Scooby's arms.
tim pool
He constantly does things where he has to check his own privilege.
He'll be like, let's see who's really under that mask.
And they'll be like, don't pull off that mask!
It's a cultural symbol!
Geez, Fred, colonize her much?
luke rudkowski
And he goes, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.
ian crossland
I'm wondering now if Scooby-Doo was like a stoner show back in the day.
Because Scooby and Shaggy were high as hell most of the show.
Like Shaggy's talking to a dog, eating Scooby snacks.
tim pool
He's eating dog food.
unidentified
I never understood as a kid.
tim pool
And then I remember when I finally got old enough, and I was told, you realize the whole gag is that they're stoned out of their minds.
ian crossland
Yeah, Scooby Snacks are edibles for sure.
tim pool
No, I think he's just eating dog food.
ian crossland
Scooby Snacks?
They make him get crazy powerful.
tim pool
The Scooby Snacks would make him get like...
unidentified
High.
ian crossland
You know, they make him kind of super crazy.
Definitely drugs.
tim pool
This meme crosses the line.
You've made him unstoppable.
Biggest buff of all time.
ian crossland
If they can overcome the poor theme here, and the writing's actually decent, it looks like they've got... I mean, Mindy Kaling, I think she's a fantastic actor.
So maybe she can pull... Like, this was a little... The writing was kind of bad.
We watched the trailer.
And she's kind of phoning in the dialogue.
tim pool
Wait, hold on, hold on, guys.
ian crossland
She's talking like this, and like this.
tim pool
Wait, wait, wait, hold on.
Hold on.
She's dead.
Watch.
There's the guy.
He's got a knife.
She screams, and then... Maybe she kills him.
unidentified
We don't know.
ian crossland
Oh, she kills him.
lydia smith
There's a twist.
joel berry
Totally.
lydia smith
Nice one.
tim pool
What does it say?
What is Scoob?
It says, Dinkley has crossed out, it says, what is Scoob?
Oh, it's like a mystery.
The show's called Velma, so maybe there's no Scooby in it.
ian crossland
Like they're looking for Scoob.
luke rudkowski
Maybe they haven't found Scooby yet, and this is the prequel.
lydia smith
He's missing.
tim pool
You know what they should do?
ian crossland
These characters all get killed, and then the real ones find their clothes.
tim pool
They need to make Into the Shaggyverse.
And it's like, all the different shaggies from different realities team up.
luke rudkowski
Don't give them awful ideas, please.
tim pool
They'll listen to them right now.
Have you guys seen the Night, Violent Night trailer?
joel berry
Oh, no.
With Santa?
unidentified
Yeah.
joel berry
Die Hard with Santa Claus.
Oh, I've seen that one.
luke rudkowski
That looks pretty interesting.
tim pool
Yeah, you're right.
It's like literal Die Hard with Santa.
I think it looks like the best movie of our generation.
And I'm proposing that we do a company-wide outing at three on the Thursday preview to go watch it.
So it's, who's it, David Harbour?
And he's Santa.
And it's just masterfully done.
At least the trailer John Leguizamo's in it.
joel berry
Yeah.
tim pool
And, uh, you know, their politics are no good, but their movie, it looks really great.
joel berry
They disappointingly made Santa white, though, so that's... Oh, no.
ian crossland
I was kind of into it until he punched into the Santa's sack in, like, a present shot out at him.
tim pool
He has a knife, and he stabs, and it goes into the sack, and then he pulls out a present.
ian crossland
Oh, it's got a present on the knife?
That's cool.
tim pool
So, basically, like, Santa's doing his rounds, and he's, like, half-glazed over, just like, whatever.
And then he stumbles upon an active heist on Christmas, and then he's like, I don't want any trouble, and then he basically uses his Santa powers to take on a bunch of terrorists in a big house.
And it just looks hilarious.
Like, the puns, he's like, it's time for a season's beating!
joel berry
Oh my gosh!
That's horrible!
tim pool
I know, it's so good!
luke rudkowski
And then he shoved the grenade where the sun doesn't shine.
Did you see that one?
Yeah!
And it runs away.
He's like, wait, I gotta see this one.
tim pool
I'm excited for that.
joel berry
This could be a problem, though, because he's, I mean, Santa's kind of essentially a god.
Like, how are they going to give him an enemy that's going to put him in any real danger?
Is there like an anti-Santa out there?
tim pool
In the trailer, he's teleporting.
He can teleport if there's a chimney nearby or something.
joel berry
Yeah, like, how are they going to make him like a, you know, a character?
tim pool
I don't know.
I mean, I just think it's going to be funny.
Now, look, look, look.
It is hard to come up with new ideas because Futurama did the Robo Santa trying to kill everybody, which is not the same thing.
And there's another movie, I forget what it's called, something like the 70s or whatever, where there's a guy just like Santa going around killing people.
But this is literally Santa Claus himself inadvertently stumbling upon a Die Hard-style kidnapping heist because this rich family's got a vault full of money or whatever.
I think it looks hilarious.
So I'm into it, you know.
Remember, what was that movie, Jack Frost?
The snowman that was killing everybody?
Yeah.
ian crossland
I never saw that.
joel berry
They're doing that with Winnie the Pooh too, right?
Are they making a... Oh yeah!
ian crossland
Blood and honey.
It's got a lot of potential.
tim pool
So it is all derivative.
joel berry
Pretty soon we're going to have like a Peppa Pig or a Bluey that goes around murdering people.
Peppa Pig's revenge.
tim pool
Yeah.
ian crossland
I think when I write music, I basically take pieces from a bunch of different songs I've heard in the past and then put them all together into a new song where you don't know that those pieces, where they're from.
So it's, I'm definitely, we're standing on the shoulders of giants.
joel berry
It's all mashups.
unidentified
Yeah.
ian crossland
Everything we do is a mashup.
Language even is a mashup of what came before, but You gotta be so intricate with it that people don't know you're using past material.
tim pool
Right, like, I came up with a show idea called Doobie Moo.
And it's about a gang of young people that fight crime.
ian crossland
With a pet alligator.
tim pool
With a pet cow.
ian crossland
A guy named Doobie.
Oh, it's a cow.
tim pool
It's a cow.
ian crossland
It's a cow now.
tim pool
And, uh, it's a cow.
Doobie Moo!
Doobie Moo!
It's an original idea.
unidentified
Great.
tim pool
Completely original.
I love it.
And the main characters are Red.
lydia smith
Yes.
tim pool
And Brafney.
lydia smith
Brafney.
ian crossland
They eat mushroom snacks.
tim pool
And Belma.
ian crossland
The mushrooms that grow on Doobie's poo.
tim pool
And Baggy.
lydia smith
There you go, yeah.
ian crossland
The special snacks.
tim pool
Man, it really is crazy how they just like...
Rehash old things non-stop over and over and over again, like we're on Fast and the Furious 10, you know?
ian crossland
They've got to use new tech, new technology.
I think if you want to make new art, you've got to integrate like modern tech.
Did you notice when cell phones appeared, it took them like six years before they started making cell phones in movies because it was so cool to have a hero that didn't have access to the outside world, couldn't resolve, he didn't know what was going on.
That's the big part of movies is you don't know.
So as soon as cell phones are invented, it like erases the drama of so many movies.
tim pool
Not only that, but you'll notice in modern movies, they'll have the cell phone to their ear, and then someone will say something like, I am coming for your family.
And then you hear a click and a doot doot doot doot doot.
And I'm like, that doesn't happen on cell phones.
That was like, and the crazy thing is, do young people even understand that?
There was a meme that is probably not real, but it's funny, where some guy was holding up a floppy disk.
And he was like, kid in my school just said, why did you 3D print the save icon?
lydia smith
I saw that.
I have no idea.
tim pool
Well, I don't know if that's real, but you know, yeah, they have no idea.
It's like they've not used these things.
What a weird turn of events for our world, what the internet has done, you know what I mean?
joel berry
We're very fortunate to have kind of seen both sides of it.
We grew up kind of before the internet, we got to see it come into being, and now our kids just don't, they don't know a world without it.
What's that gonna be like, you know?
I don't know, I mean... Instant gratification all the time.
tim pool
My entire life we've had TV is ubiquitous.
My parents were saying that it was like when they were younger, they didn't have TVs in their apartments because they were expensive and they didn't care that much.
You know, now it's like flat screen TVs are in every room because they're dirt cheap.
Maybe that's because they want to spy on us though.
ian crossland
For sure it's manipulation.
The power and control a government or people have over people with the TV.
tim pool
If you can get it... No, no, no, but wasn't there a story that like TVs have microphones and cameras spying on you?
luke rudkowski
Yeah.
I think we went on a search for ones that didn't, and we were going around the specific stores, and there was like one left that I was able to finally grab it and buy myself.
No camera?
No camera, no microphone.
joel berry
Have you seen that cost chart?
There's a chart going around the internet that Tracks the cost of everything going back to the 50s and how prices have rised for food, healthcare, cars, houses, literally everything.
Like a hundred things on this chart.
The only thing that has gone down is TVs.
luke rudkowski
Yeah.
joel berry
It's like just a bunch of stuff going up and then you have TVs.
It's the only thing that has decreased in price over the past 50 years.
luke rudkowski
Well, they also track what you watch.
They also have a lot of data on you, your personal information on there.
So, you know, this is why a lot of the TVs are so cheap is because they collect a lot of data on you and then they sell that data.
ian crossland
Man, jeez, if you get people to watch the news, MSNBC, you have control of their minds.
Do you find at Babylon Bee that you guys create news?
Do you feel like you're creating new concepts?
Because a lot of it's parody, which is like using an idea and then twisting it.
tim pool
Hold on, let me just interject.
You're wrong, Ian.
It's not parody, it's prophesizing.
luke rudkowski
Can you tell us all the jokes that went too far that you guys never published?
ian crossland
What's the difference between parody and satire?
joel berry
Parody I feel like is kind of aping off an existing thing.
You have the movie The Godfather and then you have Mel Brooks' Mafia that is kind of a parody of that.
Satire is exaggerating reality.
I think a lot of what makes our satire seem prophetic sometimes is I think it's just the fact that there's nothing complicated about it.
I think we know the left better than they know themselves a lot of times.
If you know someone's worldview, and then you also combine that with knowledge of human nature, if you have a solid, truthful worldview, it's not hard to predict what people are going to do and what people are going to say.
tim pool
That and the Babylon Bee has a vat full of a fluid with three precogs floating in it, and then wooden balls carve out, you know, the future, and then they say, hey, that's funny, let's write that up.
joel berry
It's actually a seeing stone, but yeah, pretty close.
Seeing stone.
tim pool
The Babylon Bee staff put on robes, and they all stand in a big circle holding hands, and then the crystal lights up, and they can see the future.
joel berry
That's right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
tim pool
And the feature's funny.
unidentified
It's very funny.
joel berry
It's hard, though.
I mean, yeah, we get a lot of, I mean, feedback all the time.
Please stop.
Please stop, because you're giving them ideas.
Sometimes I feel like we're giving them ideas.
I mean, did you see the one recently?
We did a, and it was just a throwaway joke.
I mean, we call it the one joke of the Babylon Bee.
It's like, it identifies as joke, you know, blank identifies as blank, so he can blank.
And it was, like, M&M's introduces new purple trans M&M that identifies as a Skittle.
tim pool
And they rolled out a purple M&M?
joel berry
Yeah, a few months ago, a few weeks ago, yeah.
As a celebration of, like, inclusivity and diversity or something like that, they have a new purple M&M.
So just stuff like that.
I think we have, like, 80, close to 80 prophecies.
ian crossland
The Black Mirror, that TV show Black mirror that he stopped making them because he was like I
think I'm giving them ideas or whatever he felt what I mean that show is
joel berry
just like bleeding edge just like I love that show
tim pool
The robot dog episode?
ian crossland
I just rewatched the one where they're hunting down the roaches, this humanoid monster thing, but they've got like AR brain chips, they're like augmented in the neural net, and so they see the roaches, they kill them, and then one guy gets like knocked out of the net by this thing, and he realizes that they're actual humans, that they've been told are roaches because they have a genetic deficiency, and it's this weird like uh story of like genocide and and being manipulated by
machines you know klaus schwab watched that episode and was like oh yeah that was
good i can't believe i did not think of that so do you think that literally do you think that you
guys are giving ideas to the war machine gosh dang i hope not
joel berry
I hope not.
I wonder about that.
No, I think that human nature is what it is.
A lot of things are inevitable.
You know, and I, it's, you're really just kind of, you're watching the course that they're
on and you're just extrapolating it, you know.
tim pool
All right, we're going to go to super chat.
If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, and become a member at TimCast.com.
We're going to have that uncensored members-only show coming up at about 11 p.m.
You don't want to miss it.
Here we go.
We got Camilla Mamani who says, Yo Tim, I heard in my Argentinian news about undersea cables that Russia could destroy them for breaking communication or tapping them.
Yes, that is a current fear.
I don't see cables all over the place.
I think there's like New York to Brazil is one of them.
Crazy.
Massive, massive cables.
If you're worried about the pipelines getting hit, they probably won't destroy them.
What you need to understand about communications is that in a time of war and conflict, people want access to the information, not to silence it.
So I hear this a lot from activists.
unidentified
They'll be like, the police are censoring the internet.
tim pool
They're making it so we can't share and livestream.
And I'm like, no, they aren't.
It's the congestion.
The police want you to share information so they can intercept it and spy on you.
It is bad.
That's why they bring in the mobile cell tower trucks.
When there's high congestion at protests, depending on when they do this, sometimes they do it.
Because they want you to use your phone and talk about your plans so they know.
Shutting you down would be bad for them.
BCisMe says, yesterday I saw a 70-year-old lady walking her little dog wearing an Ultra Maga shirt.
Made my day.
That sounds fantastic.
Grim Vale says, do you have any plans to ever do written fiction content on your culture platforms?
Trade publishing is ultra-woke and there aren't many platforms where writers can just write good stories without the gender stuff forced in.
Yeah, we were thinking about doing manga or something, graphic novels, in the weekly release style, but it's a very, very, very difficult thing to do.
I don't know if we would ever do, like, fiction books or anything like that.
joel berry
Salem Publishing, we published a novel through Salem, a fantasy novel, and got no pushback on any of the content from them at all.
ian crossland
What's the novel?

Postmodern Pilgrim's Progress.
It's kind of like a multiverse hopping, you know, allegorical tale.
Me and Kyle wrote it.
But they're, I mean, they're the only one I know of, as far as publishing houses go, they're the only one I know of that will really just let you write anything.
Go anywhere else, you're going to have very strict parameters for what you can have in there, what you can't have in there, all the woke stuff.
So yeah, the publishing business is kind of a mess right now.
tim pool
All right, Heron Gaming News says, did you hear Chicago held Slipknot at gunpoint?
Do you mean that Slipknot was held at gunpoint in Chicago?
ian crossland
Or the band Chicago had a beef with the band Slipknot, and they held them at gunpoint?
tim pool
I know, because that's what it sounds like at first, and I'm like, I don't know if that would be a thing.
joel berry
Isn't Chicago fairly old?
tim pool
Yeah, Slipknot.
joel berry
They're still at it, huh?
tim pool
Yeah, and they're huge.
I didn't know this, you know.
ian crossland
Very, very- Yeah, Chicago police held Slipknot at gunpoint, thinking they were a- Why?
This is from two days ago from Barstool Sports, thinking they were about to rob a jewelry store.
lydia smith
Oh, wow.
ian crossland
I wonder if they're in full makeup.
luke rudkowski
Does Chicago police still work?
joel berry
They still do stuff?
tim pool
All right.
Grofty says, bawk the buck button.
unidentified
Bawk, bawk.
tim pool
Yes, please.
ian crossland
But this was in 1999 that they, this happened.
unidentified
1999.
ian crossland
This was 23 years ago.
tim pool
Clayton Johnson says, nothing like an EMP to send us back to fighting with sticks and stones.
Eliminate the enemy without the nuclear winter weapons of the future.
If an EMP, let's say the big solar flare blasts the Earth.
Massive one.
Or how about... I got a better one.
Let's say aliens come here, and then as punishment for teetering on nuclear war, they EMP the planet, destroying all electronics.
How long would it be until we just make new ones?
ian crossland
16 days until things are back to normal.
If we don't have outside interference.
tim pool
Can we restart the electrical grid is the question.
ian crossland
I don't know.
It depends on the power of the EMP blast.
I think you can either fry an electronic or just shut it down for a short period of time, but I don't know enough about the mechanics.
tim pool
If the electrical grid was shuttered, there'd be billions dead within months, couple months, billions.
ian crossland
They must have a backup ready to go.
unidentified
Maybe.
ian crossland
Something ready to like.
tim pool
I'd actually be more inclined to believe they have underground bunkers ready to go for themselves than anyone else.
ian crossland
Like power lines underground, connecting deep underground.
tim pool
Faraday cage barriers and things like that to keep out the awful... Underground generators and stuff that we don't know exist.
Yeah, I think water is probably better, right?
Like, water is a better protection against radiation.
So like, you could do a Faraday cage, and then you can do an aquarium, and then you can seal your electronics in plastic and then put them in the water.
ian crossland
Nice.
tim pool
Yeah, water.
There was a story I read about a scuba diver that got sucked into an intake valve at a nuclear plant and was swimming around in the reactor.
And you're fine because the water blocks the radiation.
You can't, you know.
unidentified
Oh, wow.
Yep.
tim pool
Shane Templeton says, Joel Salatin needs to be a guest on here.
Huge knowledge in the natural way of raising chickens.
And he has a very interesting take on government programs regarding farms.
Would love to see he and Luke have a back and forth.
unidentified
Cool.
ian crossland
You know him, don't you know Joel?
luke rudkowski
I'm not sure.
ian crossland
Okay.
He's great.
He's a farmer, naturalist.
I mean, he talks about like getting in, in the pig feces with the pig while he's working and it's better for how it's better for his immune system.
He was very vocal during the COVID epidemic or pandemic, whatever you want to call it.
tim pool
Michelle Grimm says it's official, the end of an age.
No one has come up with an original movie idea since the 90s, I swear.
Let's make Speedy into Jose Owens next and make him black.
Just kidding.
Yeah, I think about this when I think about Groundhog Day.
Like that was an original concept, wasn't it?
Like the day looping was the first, now there's like 800 movies that have done this.
joel berry
Day loops, yeah.
tim pool
Day loops.
ian crossland
Yeah, I like Napoleon Dynamite and the 40 year old virgin.
I thought that was good.
2007, I think, six.
joel berry
Yeah, those were good.
ian crossland
Just like rom-coms.
joel berry
Groundhog Day, though, even though it kind of had that original conceit, it was a very traditional story.
It follows the kind of the hero's journey beat for beat, you know, same thing you see in Star Wars and all that.
ian crossland
Oh yeah, Peterson was talking about, Jordan Peterson talks about like tropes and how there's only so many stories that can be told, and we tell like, I don't know, 17 stories and just make it up off the top of my head, but like the hero's journey is one.
tim pool
No, that's not true.
You can make up more than that.
They just wouldn't be enjoyable.
We wouldn't care about them.
joel berry
We wouldn't connect with them, yeah.
tim pool
A story about a guy who gives up everything to buy scratchers.
That's it.
joel berry
Inspiring.
tim pool
And then he wins.
And then he comes back.
Oh, that's actually a good idea.
A dad who leaves his kid to go get scratchers.
And then like 10 years goes by and the kid's like, Dad never came back.
And then one day he does.
And he's a millionaire.
And he's like, I finally won.
ian crossland
And I'm back, son.
I've been scratching for decades.
tim pool
And his fingers are like his fingertips are callous.
ian crossland
I did this for you, son.
For you!
unidentified
And the kid's like, It wasn't worth it!
tim pool
And the kid was dying of cancer, and the dad came back just in time to pay for his treatment.
And then the dad has a heart attack, and then the kid... Like, the dad actually, no, he's got, um... I guess it wouldn't be mesothelioma, but it would be some kind of lung damage from inhaling all of that shredded scratcher particle.
And then the kid... No, the dad loses.
That's what it is.
But then the kid sues the lottery for the scratchers, killing his dad, and then ends up getting a hundred million dollars.
That would be a funny show.
What story is that?
That's not The Hero's Journey.
Or is it?
joel berry
That's a tragedy.
That's like Breaking Bad.
What Walter White did with meth.
He's doing with scratch-offs, right?
Yeah.
unidentified
It's a tragedy, but is it like... Sacrifice for your son.
joel berry
Yeah.
He did something noble for noble reasons, but he went about it the wrong way and it ends up doing the opposite of what he... destroys his life, destroys his son.
ian crossland
Like Thanos.
joel berry
Yeah.
tim pool
All right, Triton54 says, on behalf of all South Carolina residents, I'd like to apologize to all TimCast listeners for Lindsey Graham.
He should be removed, arrested, and tried.
I love Lindsey Graham.
It's funny.
I love him.
He represents no one.
He is anomalous.
Like, even Nancy Pelosi has support from Democrats.
Republicans don't like Lindsey Graham.
Democrats don't like Lindsey Graham.
What's he doing?
ian crossland
He's banging the war drum.
When Zelinsky said we need preemptive strikes, I immediately thought of Lindsey Graham.
Sounds like something Lindsey would have said.
tim pool
Yo, here's a good one.
Alexander Crisanti says, I am deploying down to Antarctica on Saturday for four months, providing food service at McMurdo.
Will miss listening to your show.
Also watch New York's midterms.
There's a lot of support for Zeldin upstate.
Should be close.
You don't got internet down at McMurdo?
joel berry
They have Starlink down there now.
tim pool
Do they?
Yeah, he should be able to get... You need a Starlink.
joel berry
Yeah.
tim pool
And unfortunately, Starlink is cell locked.
So they only work with specific satellites, so like the Starlink that I have won't work anywhere else.
Yeah, it works within like a 500 mile range of the area.
ian crossland
Oh, no, no, no, no.
tim pool
Actually, though, the new Starlink RV works everywhere.
luke rudkowski
Yep.
tim pool
So if you're going down there, get Starlink RV.
Maybe you can still watch the show.
joel berry
Yeah.
tim pool
That'd be cool.
At the very least, you can listen to it.
You got phones down there, right?
Someone can just call you and then press play and leave their phone and you can... Smoke signals.
luke rudkowski
That's how we're going to be talking in the future soon.
tim pool
Smoke signal Morse code for every single word said.
It'll only take three weeks to give you the full show.
joel berry
Just make sure you bring your flamethrower in case anything gets thawed from the ice that should never have been released.

Adrian Contreras says, $7.09 a gallon at the gas station in Hollywood yesterday.
Thank God my company pays for gas.
Also, Shaggy was named Norville in a show called Pup Named Scooby-Doo.
Scooby's real name is Scoobert.

Scoobert!
tim pool
The more you know.
lydia smith
Best name ever.

Scoobert.
lydia smith
Yeah.
ian crossland
I'll lay off the Norville, Orville references then.

Norville.

Risin' Tactic says Whitmer killed the elderly.
Moderates in Michigan need to understand that they can vote for abortion and vote for Dixon.

Interesting.
Free Men Die Free says, quote, We need a vast military-style campaign.
Prince Charles to the World Economic Forum.
The Russia-Ukraine conflict is intentional to promote the Great Reset.
I don't know.
That's a bold thing.
I mean, Putin was on like a World Economic Forum website, wasn't he?
And then he got removed?
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Here's a question.
Why wouldn't world leaders be in on it?
Why wouldn't all world leaders just hang out and be like, we're the best, we're the most powerful, we're in charge?
Why fight with anybody?
Why?
luke rudkowski
I don't know.
It's a good question.
ian crossland
It's like they're vying for position one, two, and three.
They want pole position in the new world order.
tim pool
I don't know, man.
Putin's like the richest guy on the planet.
Wouldn't he just be like, eh, I'm rich.
Unless it's ideological and he's like, my people will not be subjugated, you know?
joel berry
I think there probably is a little bit of that.
It's not all political.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
What do we got?
We got some more Super Jets.
Porkchopolis.
Great name.
Says, I just hope World War III holds off until after the Super Mario movie drops in April.
Is that in April?
lydia smith
Priorities.
tim pool
What's, uh, when's Wakanda Forever coming out?
Is that this November?
I'll check.
I will say, She-Hulk, today, I give a C+.
ian crossland
Oh, better.
luke rudkowski
Really?
tim pool
Well, Daredevil's in it.
And Daredevil's a great character.
And I knew they were going to rob us of the scene we needed.
So, spoilers, I guess.
There's a scene where Daredevil is going to fight some dudes.
And, uh, it's been years since the Netflix show Daredevil, and we got to see that amazing uncut fight sequence in the hallway.
And so then a bunch of dudes run in, and I'm like, oh, this is it.
I know what's gonna happen.
You think you're gonna get an epic fight with- with Daredevil, but She-Hulk's just gonna one-shot.
And then, sure enough, he, like, gets ready, and he, like, pulls out his weapons, and then all of a sudden the ceiling collapses, and then She-Hulk's like, heh heh.
And I'm like, eh.
Yeah, but it was, but it was, it was, it was good.
It was good enough.
And I think it was mostly good because I, I'm watching Daredevil and I like, I like, you know, the Daredevil show and the character and everything.
Other than that, S.H.I.E.L.D.
has been pretty bad.
ian crossland
Pretty bad.
tim pool
All right, ddmegadudu says, aside from not getting a notification, had a hard time trying to watch this on my TV.
The suggested vids were defaulted and had to type out the channel name completely.
Must be a good topic.
Yes, yes, indeed.
I think the reason YouTube's censoring us is because of the shaggy story in Velma.
unidentified
That's probably it, yeah.
tim pool
They were like, how dare you?
unidentified
Yeah.
ian crossland
Yeah, that's a touchy one.
tim pool
If you Google search Velma, it rains pride flags.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Yeah, that's weird.
Well, all right.
ian crossland
Velma Dinkley.
tim pool
Velma Dinkley.

All they say is 4D chess.

Sik Kamode O'Dragon says, Brick's partnership includes Russia and China.
She has more interest in Russia than the Ukraine.
Also, Russia won't use nukes.
They'll win without them.
Maybe.
Maybe.
Lance Link says Bush used tactical nukes in Iraq and no one ever said a thing.
I don't know if that's true.
I think the only time nukes have ever been used is, uh, Japan.
ian crossland
Are they talking about depleted uranium weaponry?
Because they would make tank armor out of depleted uranium.
It was so strong that you needed to make bullets out of depleted uranium to pierce the armor.
And then they'd shoot it and they would go into the dirt and just irradiate the soil around there.
It's still there, irradiating people and things.
unidentified
Yeah.
joel berry
Gulf War syndrome.
A lot of people have it.
ian crossland
So those are tactical nukes.
luke rudkowski
No, not really.
ian crossland
I mean, tactical nuclear weapons.
tim pool
I don't know how you would... OG Lesbian says Hunter Biden the real savior of freedom and the USA.
Wow.
luke rudkowski
Who knew?
tim pool
There you go.
lydia smith
There's a twist.
tim pool
Leaking all this information on his dad.
What do we got here?
Rick Barley says, how you all feel about House of the Dragon and Rings of Power?
I feel the first House of the Dragon shows how to have a diverse cast while remaining faithful.
I immediately stopped watching it when they time jumped 10 years.
Because if I'm going to invest in a show, because I want to learn the story of a set of characters, and then you just end that whole story arc and then start a new one, I'm out.
It's like, I, I, man, it's, it's, it, I feel like I'm watching the wrong show.
I'm like, what happened?
There was a conflict.
Dude collapses, right?
King, what's his face?
Drops to the ground, you're like, whoa!
And then the next episode, ten years later, you're like, huh?
joel berry
I heard from a lot of people it was pretty jarring.
tim pool
Tons of people announced they dropped the show because of it.
luke rudkowski
I liked watching it, but I like being a contrarian and I like weird stuff.
It's totally different.
It totally catches you off guard.
unidentified
I kind of like that.
tim pool
Better Call Saul is one of the best I've ever seen.
From start to finish, you can see how they subtly and very slowly change the characters and how the stories evolve.
And the motivations are very satisfying.
Like, you never get some weird Revenge of the Sith moment where all of a sudden, you know, main character Jimmy McGill becomes Saw.
He doesn't just go like...
I'm gonna be evil now!
It's like, no, there's like a constant attempt at, like, sort of doing the right thing, and it's like a slow transition.
I'm like, this is great.
joel berry
I heard it was brilliant.
What I want to know is how, what on earth happened between it, because the Rings of Power, one of their main writers, was the writer for Better Carl Saul, one of the main writers.
Really?
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
So like, I couldn't even watch 15 minutes.
joel berry
I was like, what happened?
ian crossland
Like, what happened between Better Carl Saul and Rings of Power, like, for that, that quality to They talk about it, they've been watching every episode on Pop Culture Crisis, and it looks like they're trying to mimic the way that Tolkien wrote, his flowery language, but they're not writing it like Tolkien, they're just creating like a mockery.
joel berry
It comes across like grade school philosophy, just like trying to sound really profound, but it's just silly.
ian crossland
Yeah, and then people get bored or confused.
And then they have so many characters that they're, like, showing you a little bit from... These characters, you don't know who they are or care about them because you don't know who they are.
And then there's just too many characters, too many storylines.
Kind of like the last season of Game of Thrones.
joel berry
Yeah, that was a mess.
Yeah, there was nowhere for Game of Thrones to go, because it's kind of a nihilist story, so there's no redemptive arc to it.
ian crossland
They should have brought Ned Stark back.
The Red Witch should have resurrected him and he reunited him with his family.
I thought that would have been awesome.
joel berry
Yeah, yeah.
tim pool
Or, you know, George R.R.
Martin can finish writing the books.
Man, that show just went off a cliff.
Everybody was watching and talking about how awesome it was, and I was like, I don't care.
And then one day, I think I was on a plane to New Zealand, and it's a long flight, so they had like seven episodes of season four, I think it was, I can't remember.
And I started watching it, and I was like, this is really good, I need to stop watching it so I can start from the beginning.
And then I binge-watched from season one, and then, man, did that show fall off a cliff.
joel berry
As soon as they got away from the books.
tim pool
Because they had no idea what they were doing.
joel berry
Same with Tolkien, too.
They thought they could write a show based on Tolkien's work with no source material, except these appendices that Tolkien wrote, and it just does not work, does not work at all.
tim pool
John Gagner says I no longer get notifications from Timcast, IRL, Matt Walsh, Steven Crowder, Blair White, or Joe Rogan.
The war for your mind is real.
YOU MUST BE THE NOTIFICATIONS YOU WANT TO SEE IN THIS WORLD.
If YouTube isn't sending them out, then you need to take the videos and post them.
If you'd like to help us, it's the only way to overcome that attempt at shadowbanning, is to just push through with a grassroots effort.
That, and we're buying ads in Times Square, the entire North Tower, for New Year's, and it's going to be hilarious.
joel berry
What's it going to say?
tim pool
Tim Guest.
And, you know, when people are watching CNN, they're going to see it in the background.
It's going to be amazing.
joel berry
We talked about The Babylon Bee doing something like that in California, putting up some billboards on Gavin Newsom's drive from his home to work.
You know, like, Satan approves Gavin Newsom's new abortion policy and have a picture of the devil up there or something.
Just like, have one billboard after another, knowing that he's gonna drive by them all.
I think that was inspired by you a little bit, because you were like, you really like billboards.
tim pool
The Taylor Lorenz thing?
joel berry
What's that?
tim pool
The Taylor Lorenz thing.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
tim pool
I just, I tweeted kind of as a, I don't remember why I was thinking that.
I was like, do I gotta buy a billboard in Times Square saying that she did this so that people, like, you know, get it?
And then Jeremy Boring at the Daily Wire was like, I'm down, I'll get in on this.
And then we did, and then, They went nuts over there.
joel berry
I love stunts like that, it's great.
tim pool
Yeah, and then I was just like, I wonder why there are so many more people who have way more money than I do who don't try to just push back on this culture and they just don't care.
ian crossland
Because they're rich, bitch!
They don't want to, I don't know man, it's like risk.
A lot of people are risk averse.
Someone was saying when they have kids, when people have kids you get more conservative too.
tim pool
What do they do?
Like, I was watching Trevor Noah quits, right?
And I read that his salary was 16 million dollars per year.
And I'm like, Homeboy's getting more than a million bucks a month.
What does he do with all that money?
Like at a certain point, you're just like, I have too much money.
Does he just like give it to needy kids?
Cause you don't see it.
Now I'm not saying, I'm not trying to rag on Trevor Noah for that.
I'm just saying like very, very wealthy people and you never see.
So what do they do?
Do they just like give it to a wealth manager and say, figure it out, I guess?
That seems just so boring.
joel berry
Lame.
Yeah, I mean, this idea that your money has to make money, I mean, if you're that rich, you don't need more money.
I don't see why you wouldn't dump it into things that create cultural capital, you know?
It's rewarding to see the culture move, you know what I mean?
Why aren't more investors doing that?
tim pool
Don't people want to do this?
joel berry
Invest in movies, invest in TV shows.
ian crossland
Unfortunately, a lot of people, very, very rich people do, call it impact investment, you know, billionaires.
tim pool
Yeah, but it's all leftists!
joel berry
Yeah.
tim pool
There's like, Peter Thiel's doing some stuff, but man, I gotta tell you, if I had 1 billion dollars, let alone 5 to 20, I'd be funding crazy stuff.
You know what I would do?
If I had a billion dollars, I would set up a table, I would get, obviously, security guards, and then I would let people line up outside and come in one at a time with their proposals, and I'd just be writing checks.
ian crossland
I'd be like, well, like Shark Tank.
unidentified
You should do a show like that.
ian crossland
Not even like Shark Tank.
tim pool
That'd be funny.
I'd just be like, what's your idea?
And the guy's like, I want to open a bacon store.
unidentified
What's that?
tim pool
It sells bacon.
Anything else?
Just bacon.
Done.
How much do you need?
There you go.
Have a nice day.
You should do that.
That'd be funny.
I'd get a percentage of the company.
It's an investment.
But like, roll with it, man.
Just do fun stuff.
joel berry
Why not?
tim pool
I would put money in, I would like, hire a bunch of people and be like, let's make a graphic novel publishing arm, you know, so we're trying to do this stuff, obviously, but I just, it's, I wish I made a fraction of the money some of these guys make, but what do they do with it all?
They could, especially the ones who complain about the culture war and are concerned about free speech, I'm like, bro, you got a billion dollars.
You could, you could fart and impact media.
Jeff Bezos bought the Washington Post!
joel berry
Yep.
tim pool
We don't gotta, come on, man.
joel berry
And not only that, but people are starving for that.
People are starving for good stories because they just don't exist anymore.
tim pool
I was talking about how I wanted to open a cafe and then open it up next to Starbucks and then do a really great co-op deal where we just pay the staff really, really well and then convince everyone to quit Starbucks and come work for us.
We will be not woke and we will pay way better than all these megacorporations.
Because our end goal won't be to just generate massive profits for the shareholders, it will be to push back on the culture and make a statement.
To all of these companies that want to engage in this weird cult-like woke behavior, we will make a competitive market option where people won't want to work for you and won't want to buy from you.
But I can't do that right now because that requires a lot of money.
Where are the mega wealthy?
Trump could do this.
He did start Truth Social.
joel berry
He made Truth Social.
unidentified
Sure.
luke rudkowski
But he took a lot of donations and hasn't really done much with it.
tim pool
That's just so weird to me.
I don't know, that's just me.
Maybe I'm crazy.
We had someone on the show who said that power likes to be hidden.
And I'm like, that's really it.
People don't want anyone to know that they... And I totally get it.
ian crossland
Yeah, that was Tucker Max.
That was a good conversation.
tim pool
Because there are people, I gotta tell you, when people find out you're successful, they crawl out of the woodwork.
I couldn't imagine what it must be like for someone who wins the lottery.
I read a story about a dude in India who won the lottery and then people started harassing him and targeting his family, demanding money, just crazy stuff.
Dude, I watched a Mr. Beast video where they did that thing where it's like you gotta put your hand in the million dollars and whoever's the last person wins it.
And then guys like, I promise 50 grand to this person, that person.
I'm like, dude, you're gonna get a phone call from every single person you've ever met talking about how you're their best friend and they always believed in you and now they need 50 grand.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
That's the way it works, man.
joel berry
Messes up your life.
tim pool
But that's why people try to keep it a secret.
That's why, like a lot of people, they win the lottery, they don't want anyone to know.
That's probably why a lot of these well-off individuals don't buy billboards in Times Square.
They don't want to make themselves the center of attention or anything like that.
luke rudkowski
But they could finance someone else that pushes the same messages and morals.
tim pool
Through a foundation they start and give money to.
joel berry
There is that one that I'm thinking of.
tim pool
We got George Soros doing this like crazy.
You got Mackenzie Bezos and Jeff Bezos both doing it.
luke rudkowski
Bill Gates funding.
tim pool
Bill Gates.
Where is anybody else?
joel berry
You've probably seen the billboards.
The values, pass it on.
Courage, pass it on.
Thankfulness, pass it on.
It's just a billboard.
It has a character quality and maybe an inspiring figure.
That whole campaign is just financed by some billionaire who lives in Colorado.
That's nice.
I want to make the world better and I want to make people better, so they just purchase billboards everywhere.
unidentified
Very cool.
joel berry
I don't know if it's moving the needle at all, but there's an example of it.
tim pool
I think billboards aren't particularly effective.
The thing about Times Square is it has a decent amount of, a decent effect, and it was kind of just to make a statement like, we can do this.
joel berry
Gets people talking about it.
tim pool
Well, you know, yeah.
It's that we have come to the point of success where we rival you.
You are not the elites anymore.
We are here.
And that's why we decided against doing any hard political messaging that was like, Directly attacking the establishment.
What we, you know, the most, the closest we get to is Michael Malice's quote on the Times Square billboard saying, uh, the corporate press gives you the narrative, Tim Cass gives you the news.
And we talked about it and it's like, if you create an ad that insults the establishment, you are setting yourself apart and telling regular people you are not a part of the machine.
You are not rivaling them.
If you just put your ads up there, you're just sitting there next to Coca-Cola and M&M.
People are gonna associate you with, you know, dominant culture, and that's the goal.
The goal is to just tell people, we are winning.
We are here.
Don't worry about it.
You're gonna hear more from us.

And you do, I mean, you do feel that.
You feel that the dominant culture and this legacy media... I watched a late night comedy show last night for like the first time in years because I was in a hotel and that's, you know, there's nothing else to watch.
It is so sad.
It seems so... it's just empty.
The laughs are not there anymore.
You do get the sense that this legacy media that ruled the airwaves for 50, 60 years is really dying.
There's just nothing left.
No one's watching this stuff anymore.
ian crossland
I got that with Colbert.
joel berry
I don't know which one.
Yeah, I watch Colbert and I watch Seth Meyers.
And it was just sad.
ian crossland
It was politics.
joel berry
It was politics.
It wasn't funny.
The guests weren't funny.
And I'm wondering, who's watching this stuff?
And Greg Gutfeld on Fox News is beating them in the ratings.
And there are YouTube channels that are beating him in the ratings.
So you really do get the sense that they're on their way out.

We were getting more views on our show than Trevor Noah was getting on his show.
But he was getting more YouTube views on the clips from his show than our clips got on this show, so it was interesting.
For, like, if you were to compare this live show to his show, granted, I guess his show is shorter, so you can argue that, you know, there's a way to argue he was doing better, I suppose.
joel berry
And YouTube probably promotes it, too.
I mean...
tim pool
Oh, that's the thing about him, CNN and all that.
They're just getting pushed, pushed up.
We're fighting against the censorship.
They're getting actively promoted.
ian crossland
Yeah, I'd rather I listen.
tim pool
Let's grab.
We just got to grab one more.
Yeah, like, okay, one more super chat.
Mark.
Mark ashamed says F in the chat for a kid or hate a law.
Who is next?
Google is also pushing for him to be disbarred.
ian crossland
Google is or people are Well, the story I've heard, this may not be accurate either, is that he, uh, people complained to the bar about trying to get him disbarred, and then he doxed them, but it turns out, according to Jeremy the Quartering, he wasn't actually doxing them, he was displaying information that was already public, and then YouTube banned him for that, and this is unclear, I don't know if that's confirmed.
